You never realize how great those 90s alt rock songs are until you hear them re-contextualized like this. Could honestly be a jazz standard

agree with you about the smooth feel of the back of the neck centre section. it is sorcery of the highest degree and makes me want to buy another novo just for the neck.

On Fralin's website there is a wiring diagram that uses 500k pots with a resistor to match a single coil with a Humbucker. If you like the 500k on the neck this would work.

The stock pickups sound great to me. I quit swapping pickups and started using a Wampler Equater pedal, you can change any voicing of any pickup with a few changes which is fantastic and some pickups will really amaze you with a few changes.

I am not an electric guitar player, mostly a window shopper. But if I was a player, I would definitely spend lots of time and effort finding a way to have a single coil sound while also have a metal option WITHOUT the electronic interference. And I would figure out a way. Maybe such pickups would be an option.
@haskitt
2 жыл бұрын
For metal, the two best options for many are 1) a humbucker in the Bridge and a p90 in the Neck. Bridge with a coil split option, and a resistor in parallel with the “dead” coil so it you don’t lose too much volume. Or 2) just two humbuckers with such coil splits.

i have a solus f1 and it has a post for the high e and b strings. my use case is a little weird because i do detune it to c# and play with bigger strings (ernie ball mammoths) but i also get sympathetic buzzing on my novo despite a different head style. it's easy to solve but still an odd issue in an otherwise really nice guitar. interesting note about the 500k pots; now i wonder if mine is 500k as i noticed it's brighter than a telecaster at similar settings.

Wow, for 3500$ they don't even hide the fret tangs... Even my $200 Jim Dandy has the tangs inboard. The no hard case is one thing, but no thanks on that. Hopefully the roasting they do on the necks will prevent the inevitable tang creep 10 years down the road, but I wouldn't want that in my head thinking about it. Got to love buying a boutique only to do a bunch of fret work.

What neck thickness did you go with and do you find it comparable with other necks around that same thickness?
@haskitt
2 жыл бұрын
I actually can’t believe I didn’t discuss this… maybe i forgot because I went over it in the unboxing video - anyhow, it’s a chunky C, .86-.95. It’s really a perfect thickness IMO, very similar to a warmoth’59 roundback, perhaps just a little thinner. not as thick as a PRS 594 or even a warmoth SRV (the asymmetry of srv just makes it feel thicker, technically it’s not). Feels a little thicker than a standard prs Neck, significantly thicker than a Reverend or a modern c Fender. I’ve played a medium C from Novo (.83-.92) and honestly it didn’t feel significantly thinner than this one, but it was somewhat noticeable. I’ve also played someone’s beefy C from Novo (.88-.97) and that is still comfy but I felt significantly thicker… worth mentioning the nut width is wider on the Chunky necks, as well as the scale being slightly smaller on the beefy ones (hopefully more options in 2022 there). Hope that’s helpful!
