This Novo was custom ordered and completed in 2022 with some amazing aesthetic features that make it a real standout even in a diverse and exciting Novo crowd. The Mermaid Sparkle finish has become sort of a hallmark of Novo's finish expertise - few builders these days seem to be able to make a finish like this work so well. Against a tortoise pickguard, white P90s, and a dark Rosewood fingerboard with pearl block inlays, there's no denying this guitar commands attention!

Hallmarks of a Novo? Lightweight, ultra-resonant, exceptional fretwork, setup, and playability...and of course, tones. This guitar feels so comfortable and broken-in, there is simply no "adjustment period" - it feels amazing from the second you pick it up. The neck feels like it came off of a well loved early 60s Fender and is a highlight on all Novo guitars in truth.

The Fender-y tonewoods combine with Fralin P90s to deliver somewhat of a hot rodded Jazzmaster tonality - bold and punchy with nice upper midrange sizzle that still has a certain bounce and airiness to the sound due to the body resonance. It's addictive!
