Novo Idris Custom - Heather Mist

The Interstellar Tone Traveler has made no secret of the esteem in which we hold Dennis Fano's work at Novo Guitars — and the Idris is the model that shows a different dimension of what Novo can do. Where the Serus J orbits the offset world and the Serus H2 inhabits single-cut territory, the Idris is Novo's S-style statement: a solidbody tempered pine instrument with its own distinct character, refined appointments, and a tonal versatility that extends far beyond anything a standard S-style guitar offers. This Custom example arrives in Heather Mist — a soft, ethereal metallic rose that catches the light with a subtlety that rewards close attention — with light nitro aging that gives it the feel of something already well-acquainted with its player. The Bull Black headstock draws a clean, deliberate line of contrast against the muted warmth of the body, and vintage cream Strat-style knobs complete a visual palette that is quietly exceptional from every angle. The Idris Custom's equipment list tells the story of a guitar built for players who want more tonal range than a traditional S-style can offer. A MannMade Vibrato provides smooth, expressive pitch movement with the warmth and character of a classic arm vibrato, and the Lindy Fralin pickup combination — a Modern PAF humbucker paired with Vintage Hot Strat single coils — covers more sonic ground than either pickup type alone could reach. The Push-Push series/parallel on the tone control gives the PAF two distinct humbucker voices, while the Blend control and 5-way switching unlock a continuous spectrum of tonal combinations between the two pickups. Jumbo Jescar 57110 nickel-silver frets — larger than the 47095s on the rest of the Novo lineup — sit across the compound 9.5"–14" East Indian Rosewood fingerboard with MOTO dot inlays, Novo 18:1 locking tuners hold pitch through every vibrato excursion, and a 3-ply parchment pickguard grounds the whole aesthetic in the vintage S-style tradition. At 7lbs 12oz in tempered pine with light nitro aging, it plays with the immediacy and acoustic resonance that has made Novo's material choices a defining part of the brand's identity.
