NGD - Novo Serus J

drpbier

This finally came, only 10 months after ordering...delays due to flame maple neck and our favourite virus...came in the Mono gig bag too as a nice little bonus, rather than the Novo one which isn't as good. Actually looks a lot more seafoam green-ish in the flesh than this pic suggests so I'm going to need to go hunting for a new strap.

No, it's Sonic Blue! It's 'aged' so has gone green, and the 'maryness' probably comes from the standard finish they do with all the grain popping out

Very very nice!

How thin are the finishes?

Very thin. Novo refer to them as suggested finishes, easily mark due to pine wood.

That is lovely! I was tempted by a Serus, but went with a Miris in the end for that semi hollow feel. Despite the waiting time and my uming and erring I have not regretted buying it!

Looks cool. I am especially in love with that pearloid scratchplate.

I know you are on diminishing returns buying a more expensive guitar, however when compared with my AV65 Jag and PRS Mira you can tell that there is that something extra. It feels more resonant and full sounding and that is before it is plugged in!
