This limited edition Chambered Serus P2 from Novo is an elegant, resonant, and extremely playable guitar that blends refined aesthetics with top-tier components. The finish is Bonfire with a dark cherry back, subtly accented by light distressing for a naturally aged look. Its body features a German carve and is built from chambered swamp ash topped with eastern curly maple, offering a perfect balance of punch, clarity, and warmth.
Â
The neck is tempered maple, cut 4/4, and carved into Novo’s chunky C profile measuring .880” at the first fret. It’s paired with an East Indian rosewood fingerboard bound in white, topped with MOTO hollow block inlays. The compound fingerboard radius ranges from 9.5” to 14”, allowing smooth chording and effortless bends across the board. Frets are medium Jescar 47095 nickel/silver (.095 x .047), delivering a familiar and comfortable feel under the fingers.
Â
Electronics include a set of Ron Ellis Ellisonic P-90s with nickel covers, known for their articulate, dynamic tone that sits somewhere between a classic single coil and a mini-humbucker. Controls include master volume, master tone, and a bass cut for added tonal shaping, plus a black tip toggle switch.
Â
Hardware includes a TonePros Tune-o-Matic bridge with stoptail for solid intonation and sustain. A 3-ply black backplate and Milk Glass Plexi pickguard give it a sleek, modern look, and it’s finished off with Novo’s Coronado-style knobs and 18:1 non-locking tuners.
Â
Strung with Stringjoy 11–50s and housed in a Novo Deluxe padded soft case, this build delivers boutique craftsmanship, versatile tone, and a feel that’s second to none.
