The Novo Miris J Nucleus in Mary Kaye White is a refined, compact offset that delivers everything Novo does best in a sleeker, more focused package. Handbuilt in Nashville by Dennis Fano’s team, the Miris J Nucleus offers a slightly smaller, more streamlined feel while retaining Novo’s signature liveliness, resonance, and effortless playability.
The Mary Kaye White finish is pure class — creamy, translucent, and softly luminous, with just enough transparency to let the grain subtly show through. Paired with white top binding, it has a timeless, high-end look that feels vintage-inspired without being retro. The Light distress adds depth and character, giving the guitar an authentic, broken-in feel that’s immediately inviting.
The tempered maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a balanced, responsive feel with clarity, warmth, and smooth note separation. A set of Fralin P-90s delivers the unmistakable Novo voice — open, dynamic, and touch-sensitive — covering everything from sparkling cleans to gritty, articulate drive with ease.
Finished with a Mastery M1 bridge and NV vibrato with Lightning Bolt arm, the Miris J Nucleus offers rock-solid tuning stability and expressive vibrato feel. Elegant, lightweight, and deeply musical, this is a boutique offset built to inspire — subtle, soulful, and endlessly playable.

"The whole experience felt completely different from any guitar store I've been to. It felt like a private gallery."
"I traded in two guitars towards a PRS Private Stock and the whole process was handled perfectly. Fast, fair, and totally transparent."
"Bought my first boutique guitar through The Vibrato Bar. The attention to detail from the setup, the packaging and the follow-up was all exceptional."
