Novo Nucleus Solus M1 | Faded Cherry - Black Pickguard
Fralin 5% Overwound Dogear P-90 - Compensated Wrapover Bridge - Chunky 'C' Neck - German Carve
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 Solus M1 model, a superb example of Novo's exciting Nucleus range.
The Novo Solus M1 boasts a body crafted from tempered pine, a choice that not only contributes to its lightweight nature but also adds a touch of resonance to the overall tonal palette. The use of tempered maple for the neck ensures stability and durability, essential elements for a guitar designed to withstand the test of time. Complementing these choices is a rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5"-14" compound radius, offering a comfortable playing experience across the fretboard.
One of the standout features of the Novo Solus M1 is the addition of a beautiful German carve on the top, elevating its visual appeal. The rear-mounted control layout provides a clean and uncluttered front profile. The new chopped pickguard design further enhances the guitar's aesthetic, giving it a modern touch while preserving its vintage charm.
At the heart of the Novo Solus M1's sonic prowess lies a 5% overwound Fralin dogear P-90 bridge pickup. This pickup is a testament to versatility, clarity, and a snarly midrange. With a promise of clear lows, thick mids, and percussive highs, the Fralin P90 transforms the Novo Solus M1 into a sonic powerhouse, capable of inspiring players across various music styles.
With a chunky 'C' neck carve, a scale length of 24.75", and a nut width of 1.687", Novo has considered every detail to offer players a comfortable and immersive playing experience. It comes equipped with Stringjoy 11-50 strings, adding to the overall playability and contributing to a balanced and expressive sound.
For added convenience and protection, the Novo Solus M1 comes with a Deluxe Padded Gig Bag, ensuring that this prized possession remains safe during transport.
