The Novo Serus J Custom Mayan Burst puts a more dressed-up spin on the Serus J, using an Extra Light distress treatment that leaves the finish looking broken-in without overpowering the details of the build. The tempered pine body is paired with a tempered maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, while white neck binding, MOTO block inlays, and a peghead matched to the outer edge of the Mayan Burst give this example a particularly cohesive look.
Novo keeps the playing specs modern underneath the vintage-inspired presentation. The Medium C neck measures .830", with a 25.5" scale, 9.5"-14" compound fingerboard radius, and medium Jescar 47095 nickel-silver frets. Novo Gold Foils by Lollar provide the pickup complement, while a Mastery M1 bridge and NV Vibrato with Lightning Bolt arm handle the hardware. A 4-ply T-Shell pickguard, white Witch Hat controls, and matching white toggle tip finish out a Serus J that balances distinctive custom appointments with Novo’s familiar offset platform.
