  • I fell in love during the COVID pandemic...with NOVO Guitars. Maybe I'm late to the party but in this video I try to explain why I love them!

    Thanks so much for this. I’ve really been liking the sound of these guitars when I hear them. It was nice to hear an in depth perspective!

    I appreciate you making this video, I've been curious about these guitars and this video helped educate me a bit. Thank you!

    Awesome, thanks for showcasing Novo! In my opinion, Novo is the best electric guitar brand out there.

    great video Tim ! I have been eyeing up a Serus J for a while now

  • @pooleymusic

    I ordered a custom Serus J back in January. I think it was estimated to come in this month, but Covid-19 said nah. I saw that Novo did quarantine for a time and recently opened back up with a smaller staff. Despite how antsy I am to get my Novo, I'm glad to hear they're staying safe and staying small. It'll be a big step up for me as I'm used to running budget electrics.

    Thanks Tim for this video. This is exactly what I was looking for. A review of a Novo from not "a big CZcamsr..yet". Cheers!

    These are great; hints of classic design cues, with added originality, without being too trendy.

    Just got my Serus J today. I took a gamble to order this one. Never held or played one before. No regrets. Resonate for months. Works for me. I currently own 3 custom shop that cost more than the SJ. Keeping mine.

  • @rsuazon
    @rsuazon Před 4 lety +2

    Congrats on the Novo Serus T! I might have to keep my eyes peeled on Reverb as well and hope I am as fortunate. I can only imagine how much they cost brand new with our loonie's current exchange rate.

    I haven’t seen this maker before. Amazing selection. These axes would make any player drool. They look ready to play and easy to enjoy out of the box. Very worthy investment. They are slightly outside my price range but already picked the one I’d want. (Solus F1).
    This talk was really enjoyable. From the instruments you’ve purchased there’s no wonder why you’d acquire more than one. It must be a great buying experience to deal with a small shop that’s dedicated to their customers. Sounds like they have outstanding ethics also to choose quality over quantity.

      I just got a Rivolta Mondata, a cheaper fano guitar for about 1300 canadian and it looks beautiful.

  • @DougE.phresh
    @DougE.phresh Před 4 lety

    man I would really love to try out the serus S or any of their stuff for that matter, it would be so cool going through the whole process and building one of my own

      I ordered a TC a couple of weeks ago. We’re in agony together lol.

  • @neve4020
    @neve4020 Před 4 lety +1

    These guitars feel and sound even better than they look! Somebody will regret selling these guitars...the wood is tempered and thats why they are so light and why they have sustain for days... i love my Serus J!

  • @bluzzjazz
    @bluzzjazz Před 4 lety

    Hey Tim, just ran across this. I took a hard look at your J and we messaged back when you had it on Reverb. I knew it would sell soon. I ended up ordering one that is due by Feb. Devon said it may be a little sooner. I'm still not decided on the pups yet. How noisy are the Fralins? I'm torn because I have guitars with almost every pup they offer. Nice review!!

    Great video. Do you still have your Novos?
    I have had a Novo Serus J and Serus S for about five years now. I play both guitars almost every day. Both guitars have pickups made by Lollar.
    Novo Serus J and Serus S are both fantastic instruments as they should be at those prices.
    I like reliced guitars just for practical reasons. It doesn’t bother me if accidentally bump the guitar to a corner of a table etc.

    Great video mate, thank you. What would you say is a good price for a use novo solus h2?

    • @TimHeerebout
      @TimHeerebout  Před rokem

      IMO a lot of that depends on whether it’s a custom order or select. The custom orders are taking 18 months now so I think there’s a premium on those ones. Select I think 90% of new is about as good as one can expect really. Unfortunately I don’t think there are many deals to be found with Novo these days.

    Do you recommend the Novos for Guitar players that play Rock and also Fast?

  • @paulnoonan1151
    @paulnoonan1151 Před 3 lety

    yes i have 2, J and S and they are both my number 1 go to.....and i have some other amazing guitars. Novo's are amazing, lets just say this, If you don't Novo you don't know....

  • @michalmikolajmaslowski3994

    Fantastic & heplful video, Tim, thank you! I share a lot of the same sentiments. I am thinking of going with the Serus S model, but I have to say that the Serus T with the Lollar Gold Foil in the neck sounds out-of-this-world well. I am slightly on the fence about the model, but I think the trem takes priority this time (like you, the Tele is my all-time fave, so I always look at the Ts first & foremost). Also, great move on part of the Novo to keep it true to their original concept and selling direct; I love those guys!
    Since you've mentioned the fret sprouting problem in general (fellow Canuck here, too, so I get it), do have a look at the Aristides guitars, especially their T-style variant, the T/0; they are not made of wood (proprietary body material called arium + Richlite board); it works like a charm, can attest to it; just sharing my experience (I am not getting rewarded for saying this publicly :) ).
    Oh, and I subbed. Cheers & take care!

  • @red240red2
    @red240red2 Před 3 lety

    God this video doesn’t help my gas for these guitars . I’m just in a dilemma , I’m a seven/8 string player . I would own one already if they made sevens.
    I just love the unique shape and craftsmanship of these guitars just can’t bring myself to buy a six!
    And that novo j is absolutely stunning! Something closer to what I would spec. What color is that?

  • @MdhLV
    @MdhLV Před rokem

    I love how guys that buy these are so gear obsessed. Go on and on about details like flamed maple necks, nickel frets, ...the craftsmanship...then they play 3 notes of a Wallflowers song

  • @llwonder
    @llwonder Před rokem

    I really want a serus j but the wait is 18months. That is absurd. I don’t even want a custom order really, I just want SS frets and different color pickups plus minimal wear

  • @imannonymous7707
    @imannonymous7707 Před 2 lety

    I love the mission statement of novo guitars. That blue guitar looks quite large , is it just me or my phone ? The lower bout looks big.
    And thats not a deal breaker or a knock at novo, its just an observation, i dig novo.
    Im canadian too bro, cheers

    • @TimHeerebout
      @TimHeerebout  Před 2 lety

      Hey man! The way the guitar curve I never really felt them to be "big". Especially the J as it's has a contoured body so it's actually pretty thin in places.

    Telecaster bridge or P90’s I love the tele pickups but I want have to buy a Les Paul and I get a some P90’s with a Jazzmaster tremolo it’s like I created it in a lab!🎸🤯🔫

  • @valbastiancontraio2795

    Jazzmasters do not have P90 they have completely different pickups

  • @marclove1159
    @marclove1159 Před 3 lety

    I appreciate a good relic guitar, but not when the price is marked up to where you are paying more for a nasty finish than for a nice shiny one. If I am gonna shell out three grand for an axe, I want a nice shiny new one.

  • @CircusNormal

    @fabiogasperini5868 Před 3 lety

    Uhm... ahm ... and ... mmmm ... a guitar with a fucked-up paint job, sharp edges, scratches, and dents, with little visible attention to details, nothing really fancy that other brands do not use already, twice or thrice as expensive as Fender, or Les Paul, more expensive than Paul Reed Smith, at 8:00 you mention "premium finishes" while scraping off some thin-layered shitty paint by rubbing the guitar with your hand, it's hilarious.
    Is this a paid promotion? And how much would that guitar be worth when reselling? Not many people like the "relic" look.
