Personal Thoughts:
This is easily one of the coolest Novo configurations out there. You get that rich Firebird neck shimmer and all the bark you'd expect from the P-90 bridge. The bound rosewood board and pearloid blocks take the whole look up a notch — it’s got that refined, custom feel without losing the rough-around-the-edges mojo.
Effortlessly playable with an incredibly responsive acoustic voice — this thing rings out loud even unplugged.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. No playwear beyond the factory relic as far as I can see. Frets are clean, setup is dialed in, and all hardware functions perfectly. Comes with original Novo soft case.
