What Do We Think
The Novo Nucleus series Serus J features a Tempered Pine body, East Indian Rosewood fretboard and a Tempered Maple neck. Acoustically, the body resonates with perfect focus and energy. It is loaded with a set of Fralin P-90's, a Mastery bridge and Novo-engraved Mastery vibrato. This all adds up to be the perfect recipe to deliver tones that are charmingly big and clear, yet ready to snarl when called on.
The bridge position is thick with a nice midrange bark. It sounds great through a variety of different amps and overdrive settings. The Fralin P-90s are warm in nature, yet have great articulation and clarity. This bridge pickup sits really nicely in a mix, with just enough bump in those upper mids to cut when you need it to.
The neck P-90 is all warmth and soulfulness, and benefits from the beautifully-percussive qualities of the Mastery tremolo. It tracks quickly with your pick attack, never dull or muddy. Yet it has a deep, woody character at the same time. Combining the two pickups in the middle position gives you a pristine, sparkly sheen.
The process Novo uses to cure their woods draws out a character typically found only in vintage guitars with decades of natural aging. The traditional methods of baking can result in a guitar sounding and feeling a little stiff. But Novo’s tempering process brings out a resonance than makes the guitar feel perfectly broken in. We thoroughly enjoy the results.
How Does It Play
The medium C neck is subtly sanded for a completely non-stick but natural feel down the back of the neck. The fret ends and fretboard edges are rolled smoothly and subtly without taking off too much material, and the string action is nice and low without buzz.
