Novo Guitars Serus J Custom | Lake Sonic Burst

The Novo Serus J Custom in Lake Sonic Burst is a perfect blend of character, feel, and visual depth. The finish is stunning in person — a layered blue burst that moves from rich, saturated edges into a lighter, almost translucent center, with a soft metallic glow that shifts under different light. It feels watery, dimensional, and organic, giving the guitar a vintage-meets-modern presence that photographs beautifully and looks even better in hand.

Built from tempered pine, this Serus J is lightweight, resonant, and immediately alive. The figured maple neck and fingerboard add a fast, snappy response with clarity and articulation, while still feeling smooth and familiar under the fingers. It’s the kind of guitar that feels broken-in from the first chord and reacts effortlessly to your touch.

The Light distress adds just enough wear to give the instrument personality without distracting from the finish, pairing perfectly with the light tortoise shell guard and white P-90 covers. Sonically, the Fralin P-90s deliver everything you want from a Novo — open, punchy, and dynamic, with warmth, bite, and a wide expressive range.

With the Mastery bridge and NV vibrato, tuning stability and feel are excellent, inviting subtle movement and expressive playing. This Serus J Custom is bold, musical, and deeply inspiring — a boutique offset that looks incredible, feels alive, and rewards nuance every time you pick it up.
