This 2022 Novo Serus J is a beautifully crafted boutique electric guitar that blends vintage-inspired design with modern precision and unmistakable Novo character. Built by the team behind the legendary Fano brand, the Serus J delivers a familiar offset feel with a refined edge.

The guitar’s contoured body and comfortable neck profile make it an instant player’s instrument, while the carefully voiced pickups provide a wide tonal palette: articulate cleans, rich midrange presence, and dynamic response that reacts naturally to pick attack and volume changes. Whether you’re chasing shimmering chord work, gritty indie textures, or expressive lead tones, the Serus J remains open, balanced, and inspiring. Novo’s signature attention to detail is evident throughout, from the flawless fit and finish to the way the guitar resonates acoustically before it’s even plugged in.

The neck on this guitar feels amazing.  While the guitar looks large and perhaps heavy, it weighs under 7 pounds, and it rings like crazy.  It set up perfectly and plays like a dream.  There are no changes, repairs, or issues.  A high quality, structured gig bag is included.

This example is in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of use, and it plays effortlessly with a smooth, broken-in feel that Novo guitars are celebrated for. It’s a serious working instrument with boutique pedigree—equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in a high-end collection.

As with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally set up to play its absolute best.

We buy, sell, and take trades.
