Novo Guitars Serus J Custom | Sienna Burst Sparkle

The Novo Serus J Custom in Sienna Burst Sparkle is a show-stopping offset that feels as alive as it looks — a handbuilt Nashville masterpiece that fuses Novo’s trademark resonance with a finish that quite literally glows like the surface of the sun. This is the kind of guitar that grabs you before you even touch a string… and then the first chord seals the deal.

Built from tempered pine with a tempered maple neck, this Serus J has that unmistakable Novo liveliness — lightweight, extremely resonant, and responsive in a way that makes the guitar feel “broken-in” on day one. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and smoothness, balancing the articulate snap of the tempered maple for a perfectly even, musical feel up and down the neck.

The Extra Light distress keeps everything clean, elegant, and subtly vintage — just enough character without distracting from the explosive Sienna Burst Sparkle finish. Up close, the metallic gradient shifts from molten gold to deep ember red, giving the whole guitar a radiant, glowing presence.

A matched pair of Fralin P-90s delivers that signature Novo voice: open, airy, dynamic, and touch-sensitive. From glassy cleans to gritty growl, they stay articulate and harmonically rich no matter how hard you push them. Paired with the Mastery M1 bridge and NV vibrato with a Lightning Bolt arm, you get world-class stability and some of the smoothest, most expressive vibrato action available today.

Everything on this build is dialed for performance — from the Medium C (.830") neck carve, to the compound 9.5"–14" radius, to the factory-equipped Stringjoy 10–48s. It’s all designed to disappear in your hands so the guitar becomes an extension of your playing.

This Serus J Custom is pure Novo: resonant, soulful, lightweight, and crafted with obsessive attention to feel. And with this finish? It’s one of the most visually striking guitars you’ll ever put under stage lights.
