Product information

A head-turner with real substance - this Candy Apple Red Serus J pairs bold looks with vintage tone, modern feel, and endless inspiration.

There’s flash, and then there’s Candy Apple Red done right -and this Novo Serus J absolutely nails it.

Underneath that bold Candy Apple Red finish is a guitar that’s all about feel. Built with a tempered pine body and tempered maple neck, it’s light, resonant, and alive in your hands. Add in a set of Fralin P90s, and you’ve got a tonal recipe that leans vintage but doesn’t live in the past. We're talking tight, clear lows, chewy mids, and just enough grit to make everything feel a little rock n roll (in the best way).

It rings out beautifully unplugged - dry, snappy, and full of nuance. Plug it in and it becomes something else entirely: part muscle, part chime, and all character. Whether you're riding the volume knob for edge-of-breakup textures or pushing your amp into full overdriven mode, this guitar keeps up and then some.

The medium C neck feels like it’s been yours for years. It sits just right in the hand (Strat lovers, you'll really appreciate where this profile is coming from), and paired with the Serus J’s offset silhouette, creates an incredibly natural playing experience. Upper fret access is effortless, and the ergonomics make it feel more compact than it is, which is ideal for players who want to access classic tones but in a really easy playing instrument.

Novo doesn’t just build guitars, they build instruments that make you want to keep playing. This one’s got style, soul, and swagger in equal measure. You’ll set it down eventually... but not because you want to.
