Here is a factory tour ua-cam.com/video/iz7gYSmCZyY/v-deo.html
you barely showed off the guitars (like the finished ones)!!! #$%@!!!!
What do you do for a living? "Hitting perfectly finished bodys with a stone" AWESOME !!!
Hitting 2-3k$ guitar guitars with a stone 😂
I used to work at Premier Builders Guild when they were in business making Dennis's Fano line of guitars. He came out and trained a few guys and I remember one of the guys told me. "You have to find that right rock that just works."
@@SA8TER21 🤣🤣🤣✌ great stuff
John Bollinger-musician, writer, bon-vivant and man about town. And now tour guide. Nashvilles' Swiss Army knife.
Bon-vivant love it.John has such a confident approachable demeanor and very talented really like watching him work.
John’s a Top Gezzer and fine player..🌞⭐️👍🏻🤠
Honestly don't really care for the Rig Rundown when John isn't hosting it.
A true Renaissance Man
Yea john does a wiked job hosting this series. He asks the right questions and the musicians respect him.Hes got some pretty cool rigs himself.
And no , im not gay, lol not that any things wrong with that
With COVID and Novo's transition to direct sales, I was in a position to place an order and get my guitar delivered in about 5 months, which was great! I got a Serus J in ocean turquoise. I am very pleased!
Love that finish. I got the Ice Blue Metallic with black mastery and black foils.
How do you make an order?? Ive been on their website but nothings available ;-; is it the customise thingy??
@@splatastic244 yeah, you have to either order a custom which takes around 6 months to a year. Usually about a year. Or you can get one of the twenty special order slots that they release at the beginning of each month on their website. The Special order only takes three months but it's limited on the spec options you can choose. If you get lucky you can buy a Signature guitar they release on some Thursday mornings at 10am. They are one of a kind, hand built, and signed by Dennis himself.
Yes! I've been waiting for this!
Thanks John 👍🏻
Been a fan of Dennis's work for a long time.Good to see the success he has achieved.Also bringing so many talented individuals in the Nashville area along and giving them a chance to practice their artistry in his factory.
Fantastic video!
The sparkle with the grain is awesome! Special stuff.
agreed. I just don't know how anyone could want to buy it brand new, but deliberately damaged. It's beyond my understanding.
Really enjoy this factory tour. I have one coming in this June.
When the time is right I’m for sure getting a novo. Just beautiful guitars. Seeing how they build them let’s you know that the quality is there.
Great video !! Love it
Sparkle + wood grain with texture ? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Too awesome!! One looked like inca silver but with the wood grain, wow, too amazing.
They have some amazing stuff, wow man
Great company run by great people!! I love my Serus J. Wonderful guitars built by an amazing team!
I have a Serus J with 3 P90s in Orange on order about 8 months away now, can't wait!
They look like lovely guitars.
Thanks for sharing, and giving us a good look at that Serus bass hanging in Dennis’s office. 😃
Great video and content. Seems like a real bunch of down to earth, honest, caring, nice, and talented people that make up the company. Every owner raves about how good the Novo guitars are.
This video made me purchase a Serus S in 64 3-tone sunburst and a Serus J in Ocean Turquoise.
I can’t wait to get them!!
That sparkle sunburst in the video is one of the most beautiful finishes, I have ever seen! The painters at Novo truly are wizards and some of the best in the world right now😍✨
Awesome factory!
OMG the sparkle burst is insanity...
I want a Novo Solus H2 so bad. I’ll never have the scratch. They are so cool looking.
That sparkle finish is amazing.. I am gna dream of that now
more of these tours, please! i love seeing how the sausage is made!
I got a Novo Serus J today! Hey I love Bohlinger! Thanks Premier Guitar & Novo! Sweet tour.
I got my Serus J in Nov. 2020. I waited about 7 months to end of build. It did not disappoint. Ice blue metallic with Lollar Minis+ tone machine! Matt was great help when I was trying to decide on what I wanted, and Devin was such a good guy to work with on the final details. I would not hesitate to buy another Novo. While not inexpensive, the quality matches the price. Now I have an inkling for a Miris!
I received my J in Oct 2020! :) It's my favorite guitar.
Awesome! Deffo some cool guitars!
That sparkle sunburst looks phenomenal!
Man has an age of triumphs shirt on, what a legend.
seeing the shirt made me smile.
Been a fan of them ever since I saw Rhett Shull use them. Need to get one of my own one of these days.
@@sometimelater Lol how does that make them high? Because I found out about this brand of guitars by Rhett, and then seen lots of others and videos about them? So I want one? You comment makes no sense
Well the prices have tripled in 4 years so if you wait any longer you going to be lucky to get one for under $6000. I'm over them.
@@playmoreguitar5393 Lol there's plenty under that price. Depends what you want
@@JeremyLeech Rhett didn’t build any guitars.
@@bayougtr never said he made them. Although he did have some made for him. Never once said he made them. He plays them lol.
Great video, well done. Novo really have the formula sorted, great attitude, wonderful guitars..
Speaking from experience, the first self-inflicted ding hurts your heart way less when the guitar is already reliced 😂
have to cop to this.....saw you in the airport Jon and I gave a few double takes and did not say hi, but thanks for traveling around and doing all of these videos. Always a great way to start the day.
Thanks for introducing me to Novo - they'd passed me by somehow. Wow!
Great factory tour coverage John! Keep up the good work:)
John Bollinger; best posture in the music business.
Recently received my Serus J custom. Amazing tone and sustain. 3 P90's. It's a mighty throaty growler! Body fit and neck (fast!) playability surpass all my others possibly save my tele (maple fretboard). Keep up the great work dudes! Shout out to Devon!
p.s. others are LP, ES335, Strat, and PRS22,
I can't tell you how much I want a Serus J in mermaid sparkle.... They have the best metallic and sparkle finishes in the business.
Dennis has such a great eye for design. One of the best builders around.
Their distressing process is freaking awesome!
Yes - EXCEPT I sincerely hope the guy with the rock and the spike does not end up with repetitive stress injuries. That's a serious debilitation in progress right there. Take care!!
I don’t like scratchingd in my guitars.
Novo is so cool! I don’t know that I’ll ever own one, but I’d love to play one. If you haven’t checked it out, their podcast is a great time. It’s like hanging out with a group of friends, talking about gear and music. You get to meet each member of the shop one episode at a time.
What a great guitar company 😊🤘
Very interesting!
I just got a Novo Serus P2 and it is by far the loudest and most resonant guitar I own. The neck and body vibrate like crazy when I strum a chord. I’ve never been so giddy strumming an unplugged electric guitar.
I'm proud to say that I know how that feels. I just got my Custom Serus J two days ago. They are so resonant and light.
really cool!!!! thank you.......i want one!!!!!..........cheers!!!!!
I have a fano tele beside some vintage guitars which i never will sell but those novo guitars are by far my favorite guitars i can´t afford atm...
Softer wood like pine filters the sound, giving it a warmer, rounder tone, plus it's light weight and resonant, exactly what you want in a solid body guitar. I'm a die-hard telecaster and stratocaster and Les Paul Special player for solid body guitars, but Novo is more interesting to me than PRS for some reason, and I'll have to give one a try!
😎 Thanks Matt, Jon ⚓️ Operating a CNC machine is no joke, ? How many guitars is a certain bit good for ? Bits for pickups Bits for fret slots ~ nut slots ~ neck pockets. Really a craft requiring plenty of experience. 🎸
FUNNY BUT THAT LOOK PLUS THE RELIC/ STRESSING IS SO FORGIVING FOR THE FINISHING ...GENIOUS!
18:20 That blue sparkle is so killer.
Expecting my Serus J in about 2 months! Whoot!
That was ace 👍🏻
I want my Novo TV!!!!
I really wish I had one of those redwood tele's that fender was making back in 2011ish. I played one back then and just couldn't afford it.
That pink sparkle guitar will be a great guitar for rock
I NEED THE BASS IN DENNIS'S OFFICE! He started building basses, and I absolutely must own a Dennis Fano bass!
Best guitar I have ever owned. I sold it because I discovered I'm not a J series fan. May get a T series down the road. The Mirus at 12:45 I absolutely love! Yes, I'll have that one please!
I love Novo guitars and John B is one of my favorites! Great video!
Rock on!
My favorite guitar brand of all time!!!! (And Fano, before Novo)
Make mine a Novo Serus S in ice blue metallic - relic’d.
Thanks for this video of the best guitars ever made!!!
Best! ✌🏼
P.S. Glad to see John embrace the “grey.” Looks good on you John. It happens to the BEST of us! ✌🏼
Now that I heard about it I‘d love myself one of them Amish pine guitars
It’s such a unique feature, you don’t get that stuff in Europe
That Novo bass behind them at 19:00 looks sick!'
I want a Novo bass so bad!
Just enough tech to maintain the soul. Excellent ☮️
With all due respect, Zane looks EXACTLY like the guy you’d picture who’s job it is to hit a guitar with a rock and a railroad tie.
My #1 bass is a relic but I cried a little when Zane started hitting that beautiful body with a freaking rock.
omg lmao
Hmm… did we just get confirmation that the himbucker/P-90 combo is coming to the solus model option? Or was that just a shot of one Dennis’s signature run?
Super content, love those guitars, great factory tour.
15:28 best line of the video
I know where I want to work when I retire!!😀
I wonder how soon stewmac will come out with their ”professional relic rock n spike kit”and how much it’s going to cost😂
$79.99
$87.99 with specialized distressing jig included.
Diamond impregnated rock file $129
wow that blue guitar 17:19
Novo's are king! Thank you for this great vid PG! #amishpine4life:)
Bunnings beanie in Fretland! Australia represented! 🇦🇺 🐨
I need that 3 tone sparkle !
i've been wanting one ever since i saw Rhet Shull's Serus J, but in lake como blue or charcoal frost color,
I didn't know yall made basses too.. I generally don't gravitate towards offsets and "odd" shaped guitars.. but I'm gassing for a novo so bad.. true art 🎨 👌 ✨️ true true art
Awesome vid PG. Great guitar company, family vibe. they make killer guitars(visually) and from what I’ve heard- they play amazing. I’ve yet to play one. Maybe someday. Keep up the good work Fano!
How long till Rhett Shull comments on this??
That Silver guitar with the Blue pickguard and the F hole lookin thing looks insane. Want.
Everything is in nuances. Tjanks for this. Also Guitar Pilgrim Open mu eyes that a blues isnt easy becouse maybe its not fast but theres a lot of Little things that made simple things sound great
Do what? Did your keyboard have a stroke?
Tell you what, I make guitars in my "free time". This is absolutely how I would do it if I could involve other people, I'm a fan.
So Dennis F has the exact same office chair as me - folding arms FTW :)
You are a great owner
hey man, u NEED ta do a interview on O'Dell Guitars N Wilkesboro NC The guys an absolute monster at this ............
I want that job distressing them things! 😎👌
Cf rods in a pine neck would be a fun experiment.
That rip at 2:18
3 and up cool if ya can get it !
Relicing. Absolute madness.
Then buy a PRS. Plenty of pristine guitars out there for you to buy without needing to shit on other peoples preferences.
You should get a Gibbons Les Paul.
Pine and nitro hmmm well thats interesting. Id love to see what an exact copy of an early broadcaster proto type sounds and plays like.
And i love the checking look on pine, really cool man.
Come on jon pick one of them up and rock out bro,
There is a sienna burst sparkle Serus P2 in my future.
Well crap now I want one.... thanks John lol
My boy Zane with that Pet Symmetry shirt tho
Pine, check, cnc machine, check, sparkle gun, check, rock and spike,check, freezer, check. Ok, ready for production!
Lol
Seriously, kudos to these guys have no problem showing this that nobody else does!!!
I see a bass headstock on the table 😍 you guys do bass guitars as well??
I always thought pine was too soft. Very interesting.
My dream guitar! One day I will have enough money to get one. Hopefully….
Great stuff, im just not totally sold on the 2x4 pine body... but hey if it works it works.
I'm surprised they don't get pine from New Zealand. Pinus Radiata grows faster there than anywhere else.
Matthew is a human golden retriever, such a happy dude!
as if i didn’t want a novo bad enough already
absolutely love them, i really want one , but down here in Australia I'm looking at the $ 7000 mark.....way out off my price range....
