Novo Serus J Custom Bull Black over '64 3-Tone Burst (387)

The Novo Serus J Custom Bull Black over ’64 3-Tone Burst gets its personality from the finish before you even reach the spec sheet. Novo’s finish-over-finish treatment puts Bull Black over a ’64 3-Tone Burst, then receives a Medium distress level that allows the underlying burst to become part of the guitar’s visual character. Underneath is a tempered pine body paired with a tempered maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, amber peghead, and understated MOTO dot inlays.

The neck uses Novo’s Medium C profile measuring .830", along with a 25.5" scale and 9.5"-14" compound fingerboard radius. Jumbo stainless steel Jescar frets give the build a decidedly modern playing surface despite its aged presentation. A pair of Fralin P-90s with nickel covers supplies the electronics, while a Mastery M1 bridge and NV Vibrato with Lightning Bolt arm provide the hardware foundation. Black Witch Hat controls, a black 3-ply pickguard, Novo locking tuners, and Stringjoy 10-48 strings round out a build that mixes worn-in styling with contemporary components.
