Dennis' take on aging is exactly why i love my Novos - i can just use them without having to worry about banging it on something, accidentally leaving it in the car, etc... plus the feel is just unbelievable

Great to have this interview with this usually rather shy luthier. Have followed Dennis’s work since I read an interview in UK’s The Guitar Magazine with Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding of XTC, describing being given/ gifted completely off-the-wall custom guitars personally by Dennis. Loved those shapes, and loved pretty much every design he’s released ever since.

As a Novo owner, I’d totally encourage you to shoot for one. They are, in my opinion, superbly made instruments with tons of character that really beg to be played. I never bonded as quickly or as deeply with a guitar as I did with my first Novo.
@maxpeck4154

@@marquee-moonAgreed. I stupidly sold mine because the fretwork was so flawless and I played it so much that they started to wear pretty quickly and the thought of having someone refret it kept me up at night. I waited for one with stainless frets, finally found one and grabbed it. Guitar was superb but I didn't like the frets - too much "zing", not enough warmth. Sold it and ordered one almost identical to my first one and it's on its way to me from NC as we speak. I'm pretty stoked.

Interesting story and nice designs with that traditional look but still different. I never got into the CNC manufacturing but had considered it before I retired. However, my thing was "handmade" and I wanted to stick with that to the end as much as possible. That and not growing the business beyond my control. Good luck--you're definitely doing a lot of things correctly--keep at it!

At a certain price point, a high degree of playability is a must, and at the level of Novo, and other brands similarly priced, that high level is generally met. This means that the aesthetic has to be the real selling point. I think Dennis' guitars look great. I wouldn't want one for myself, but I can appreciate the designs. I make my own guitars now, they way I want them, but I saw a few things in this video I hadn't considered.
