Novo’s Serus J Nucleus 64 in 3-Tone Sunburst is boutique-offset magic: featherweight, wildly resonant, and finished in a vibey thin nitro that lets the guitar breathe and ring. Designed by Dennis Fano and crafted in Nashville, this offset pairs a tempered (roasted) pine body with a tempered maple neck for an alive, immediate response and effortless sustain. The lightly aged sunburst with matching headstock nails the vintage look while keeping the feel decidedly modern.

Dual Fralin P-90 pickups sit at the heart of the Serus J, delivering glassy single-coil articulation with that unmistakable P-90 midrange punch. Expect sparkling, harmonically complex cleans, chewy edge-of-breakup crunch, and rude, dynamic grind when you lean in—perfect for indie, Americana, soul, and alt-rock tones. Simple, intuitive controls with a three-way pickup selector and quality electronics (including an Emerson paper-in-oil cap) keep the voice open and touch-sensitive.

A Novo-branded Mastery M1 bridge and NV vibrato bring rock-solid intonation and a smooth, musical trem feel, returning to pitch with confidence while preserving note-to-note clarity. Nickel hardware and Novo 18:1 tuners add a premium, roadworthy touch, while the 3-ply parchment guard frames the offset silhouette in classic style. The bolt-on tempered maple neck features a rosewood fingerboard, a comfy Medium C profile (~.830"), and a fast 9.5"–14" compound radius with 22 Jescar medium frets for low, buzz-free action and clean bending up the board.

A 25.5" scale length and unbleached bone nut deliver snap and tuning integrity, and the factory Stringjoy 10–48 set feels perfectly balanced for both trem work and tight rhythm chops. Boutique build quality, lively woods, and Fralin P-90s make this Serus J a responsive, inspiring instrument that shines from clean to crunchy. As with every instrument we sell, Max Guitar techs have checked setup and electronics.
