So, I’ve been really inspired be the Novo Serus J tones. I first saw these being used by Sam Vilo, and since he’s made the most videos of the Brunetti Mercury One, I know the combo works well together.

It seems everyone loves these guitars from both a tone and playability standpoint and attribute the tone to the combination on parts.

Roasted Pine MJT body
Allparts Japan AAA+ Roasted Maple neck with compound radius and jumbo frets
Mastery bridge and tremolo
Gotoh MG-T locking tuners
Some P90 unwound with A2 mags. I planned on using some Fralins, but I had to get creative and shorten pole pieces and reroute the load to reduce the pickup depth to fit in a shallow jazzmaster route.

I put on a temporary button do a basic setup and this thing rings like a bell. I’m dropping it off to my former ESP luthier to out on an oiled bone nut and and the going to crown the frets, round the ends and roll the fret board edges. I’m looking forward to the finished product.

Nice build! Neck looks appetizing 👍🏻

Meanwhile I only build fatigue, can’t afford anything else ATM 😂
