A deeper voice. A sharper edge.

The Novo Serus J Baritone in Copper is where extended-range elegance meets stripped-down rock ’n’ roll attitude. Built in Nashville by Dennis Fano and the Novo team, this offset baritone is designed for players who want more than just low-end punch - it’s an instrument that delivers clarity, dynamics, and character in every register.

This model features a lightly distressed Copper nitro finish paired with a 3-ply parchment guard and sleek black hardware accents, creating a bold but refined aesthetic. The 28” scale length provides excellent string tension and definition for B or A standard tunings, while the Lollar Mini-Broiler pickups offer a uniquely punchy, articulate voice that sits somewhere between a Filter’Tron and a Firebird - perfect for anything from ambient explorations to heavy grooves.
