Novelli electric guitars are renowned for tipping their hat to great guitars of yesteryear, while moving forward in truly new and exciting ways. Our guitars are luxurious, yet not overbuilt. Advanced, but not fussy.

You might catch the occasional ghost of a great Gretsch, Gibson or Fender you once knew, married to the stellar playability and unequalled tone that is our hallmark. We use only the finest U.S.A. made hardware and electronics, with custom-wound pickups.

Our electric guitars feature:

Bodies

• lightweight, hand chambered Honduran and African mahogany bodies.
• a selection of master-grade hand sculpted tops, featuring flamed, quilted, and birdseye maple, quilted mahogany, Spanish cedar and more.

Necks

• Quartersawn, hand carved Honduran and African mahogany necks with quartersawn rosewood, ebony and maple fingerboards.
• hand cut scarf-jointed headstock, for superior strength, with quartersawn ebony or maple headplate veneer.
• Dual action truss rod, easily adjusted from inside the guitar's body.
• A wide selection of pre-hardened frets.
• Mortise and tenon neck attachment, with proprietary hardware connection for vastly increased sustain and resonance.

Finishes

• Ultra-thin, hand rubbed gloss nitrocellulose laquer.
• Wide variety of colors to best showcase our fine woods.

Electronics

• We feature custom wound pickups by both Lindy Fralin and TV Jones, which we consider to be the very best.
• Using only U.S.A. made pots and switches, our electronics are meticulously soldered and loaded for a lifetime of trouble-free operation.
