"Not only do
Steve Novelli's guitars play and sound like a dream,
they look good on you. Steve's an artist."
-Rodney Crowell |

"Simplicity
and elegance are what makes the Black Hole a great electric
guitar. From the hand carved hollow body to the gorgeous
maple top to the Fralin P90s to the comfortable neck,
Steve Novelli has crafted a masterpiece that not only
turns heads onstage but pleases everyone's ears in the
studio, too. Steve really has built a guitar that sits
somewhere between the best Les Pauls and the coolest
Gretsch guitars. With a vibe all its own. Bravo, Mr
Novelli!"

"I'm
amazed at how perfectly the Novelli meets my needs. For
a vintage freak, that's saying something. I have a '54
Les Paul that's exceptional --and I love--and yet I can
pick up the Novelli right afterward playing that Les Paul,
and it feels right. Novelli (the luthier) is a genuine
guitar intuitive. From few general conversations about
guitars, he built an ax for me that expresses my needs
better than I knew myself. I'm not into boutique guitars.
Most are too concerned with perfection in the wrong way.
To me its like obsessing on the finish of a hammer. Novelli
understands the guitarist and gives him the right tool."

"The Black Hole
is cool, very inspiring, has warm tones. I would recommend
this guitar to anyone. The Vortex - that guitar
says
it all."

"Most custom
builders get the sound right and the feel wrong or the
other way around, this Novelli sounds great and feels
great too. A familiar yet unique sound, feel and look."

"This guitar
is the best electric I've ever played. It sounds fantastic,
looks great and is super easy to play. I use it on everything
I record now."
