NGD x2: Because every day should be a New Guitar Day!

SuperiorReturns

Guys, recently I asked a question about a Gibson 60th reissue, which I was planning to buy as a 30th birthday present for myself. 

Long story short, my birthday was in late May and due to a number of factors I never got to the Gibson. I will cut to the chase and just post the pictures to share the happyness - Suhr Modern Koa & Novo Serus SV.

Holy shit! They’re both amazing!

That koa looks amazing

Surely too scary using that kind of guitar rack with Suhrs and PRSs!
Too easy to scratch one

I am embarassed to admitt that I just had to share this with someone first, but I have just assembled a Hercules guitar rack! I mostly keep my guitars in their gig bags, but one is always on the rack just to motivate me to pick it up

Thanks guys! This is my first Suhr and the playability is unreal. The SS frets are an absolute gamechanger.

What's the neck on that Suhr? Baked maple or rosewood?

I am afraid my response will start a holy war. 

Its Pau Ferro. I know some people hate it, but it feel incredible. Its almost soft, but at the same time its not. Very hard to describe.

More pics of the Novo please. Phwoarrrr!

Despite the bizarre headstock, I do like that Novo.

Pau Ferro would be the fingerboard...

i think the neck is mahogany.

Nope, its pau ferro The whole neck is made of pau ferro - you can't confuse it with anything else. The moderns that most shops have in stock have a pau ferro board, but this guitar's neck is 100% pau ferro. I will post some more pics of the Novo in a few hours - can't stop playing

Interesting, two pretty different things there that I wouldn't usually think would be bought by the same player. Novo is class - post more pics of it!

Hey guys! Thank you, yes, very very different guitars. In fact, it seems that my whole guitar family is very different. Its pretyt amazing how every one is unique in a very particular way. The pau ferro board is clearly very special. 

The Novo is very different in its own way. A bit more resonant and it has a very distinct smell (???!!!). Surprisingly both guitars have a very vintage tone - the Suhr sounds even a bit more vintage and rounded to my ears. 

One thing that could have been better is the metal plate on the Novo, as the corners are quite sharp, but I guess its part of the vintage appearance!

If this had neck binding I might have to go and buy it.

Stunning!!

Guys, just FYI, Novo still fullfill custom orders. The FX and VAT on import will offset each other, so the final price will likely be the same as at Coda.
