Novo Nucleus Miris J | '64 3-Tone Burst - Tortoise Shell Pickguard
Fralin P-90 Pickups - Mastery Bridge & Vibrato - Previously Unavailable Outside Of Custom Shop
We are thrilled and immensely proud of the relationship between Peach and Novo. Our fearless leader, John, has been a devoted customer of the brand for years, amassing a significant collection of these guitars due to his genuine passion for them. For the previous few years, Novo handled all sales directly, but from 2023 we were delighted to announce that Peach would be stocking and selling these exquisite instruments exclusively in the UK. Our entire staff loves the perfect combination of retro-cool aesthetics, outstanding reliability, and innovative features that Novo guitars embody. They possess a timeless yet contemporary appearance that defies description but exudes undeniable coolness.
Moreover, once you hold one of these guitars in your hands, you'll be astounded by the unparalleled feel of the neck. It truly sets a new standard. We are thrilled to offer these guitars to customers without the need for a custom order or overwhelming choices. However, we urge you to act swiftly, as once a model is sold out, it may be unavailable for an extended period.
Novo have decided to refresh their lineup, introducing refinements and some tasty extras to their already exceptional instruments. The former Select series has evolved into the fresh Nucleus series. This series proudly features the continued presence of the Idris, Serus, Solus, and Voltur models, along with the exciting addition of the Miris model to enrich the lineup. Immerse yourself in cutting-edge hardware, inventive designs, fresh pickup configurations, and a diverse array of exquisite finishes. Today, we take great pleasure in introducing the Miris J model, a superb example of Novo's exciting Nucleus range.
The Novo Miris J, distressed to a light finish, immediately captivates with its aesthetic charm. It is constructed from high-quality Swamp Ash, ensuring a resonant and lively tonal character. The addition of a tummy contour on the back and a back round over edge enhances both comfort and playability, making it a joy to wield on stage or in the studio.
The neck of the Miris J is fashioned from tempered maple, offering durability and a stable foundation for the instrument. The Medium 'C' neck carve ensures a comfortable grip, facilitating seamless navigation across the fretboard. Speaking of which, the Miris J boasts a rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5"-14" compound radius, providing a perfect blend of vintage feel and modern playability.
At the heart of the Miris J's sonic identity are the Fralin P-90 pickups, meticulously selected to deliver the ultimate vintage P90 tone. Renowned for their versatility, clarity, and snarly midrange, these pickups promise to inspire players across various musical genres. With clear lows, thick mids, and percussive highs, the Fralin P-90 ensures that the Miris J produces a spectrum of tones, adapting effortlessly to diverse playing styles. They are designed, built, and assembled in Virginia using 100% USA-made parts.
The Novo Miris J is equipped with a Mastery bridge and vibrato, bearing the Novo branding. Trusted by touring musicians and luthiers globally, this hardware ensures stability, precise intonation, and reliable performance under the most demanding conditions.
For optimal string performance, the Miris J is fitted with Stringjoy 10-48 strings, striking a balance between playability and tone. The nut width of 1.65" further contributes to the guitar's overall comfort, accommodating a variety of playing styles.
Previously available only as a custom-made model, the Miris J is the only semi-hollow model in the Nucleus range. The guitar incorporates a redesigned sound hole, departing from the traditional S-hole design, and features a new pickguard and control plate style.
Novo provides a Deluxe Padded Gig Bag, ensuring that the Miris J is not only a performer's dream but also a durable companion for the road.
