So you're into Jazzmasters but wish they were more versatile and had a more familiar feel? This Serus J might just be your new favorite guitar.

There’s something undeniably fun about playing a Novo guitar. From the first strum, you can feel the passion and craftsmanship the Nashville-based team pours into every detail. Before you know it, you've spent hours playing, your ears are ringing, and you’re grinning like it’s your first guitar all over again (and isn’t that the point?).

To start, the comfort and playability of the Serus J model is off the charts. The roasted maple neck features a medium C profile that feels perfectly rounded and broken-in, while the lively, resonant roasted pine body resonates in such a way that you immediately connect with it - the entire guitar just comes alive when you strum a G chord (for example).

Despite the use of a 25 1/2" scale length, the Serus J’s body design shifts the neck’s layout in a way that feels like a short-scale guitar—lower fret chords are a breeze, and lead work flows effortlessly thanks to stellar upper fret access.

Paired with a set of Fralin P90s, the Serus J delivers a perfect marriage of snarl and Fender-like twang and snap, offering a versatile tonal palette that suits styles ranging from clean and articulate to snarling overdrive or edge-of-breakup grit. Awesome stuff!
