Novo Guitars Serus J Aged Bull Black w/Grained Aluminum Pickguard

Take this Serus J in Aged Bull Black as an example. With its matching headstock, dark rosewood fingerboard, Mastery trem w/lightening bolt arm, and aged grained aluminum pickguard, it’s a showstopper before you even pick your first note. But make no mistake—this guitar isn’t just about cool looks.

What truly sets the Serus J apart is its unparalleled marriage of style and substance. Dennis Fano’s eye for detail is evident in every curve, from the impeccable fretwork to the effortless playing setup, right out of the deluxe padded gig bag. And those Fralin P90 pickups? They’re the perfect blend of snarling grit and Fender-inspired snap, making this guitar as versatile as it is thrilling to play.

The feel of this guitar is nothing short of exceptional. Thanks to a resonant pine body, slinky 10-46 strings, and a perfectly rounded medium C neck carve (think '60s oval C Strat-ish), it feels instantly familiar—like an old friend. And despite its long-scale design, the smartly designed body shape keeps everything within reach, making cowboy chords easy and lead lines fluid, with exceptional upper-fret access and perfect balance.

What makes the Serus J truly special, though, is the joy it delivers. It’s more than a guitar—it’s a reflection of the Novo team’s passion and artistry, something you’ll feel every time you pick it up.
