It's built with a tempered pine body and maple neck, resulting in great resonance, even unplugged.   The light distress finish gives it character and vintage appeal.  It's a thin nitrocellulose lacquer that will age naturally with your playing over the years.  The way that Novo does the aging work makes each guitar unique to itself - check out the photos closely to see how this one was done.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium \"C\" neck profile offers comfortable playability for extended sessions - it's a relatively slim profile but we wouldn't call it skinny.  It has a great vintage grip without being too fat. The rosewood fingerboard with MOTO dot inlays and medium nickel\/silver frets ensures smooth, responsive playing.  It has a 25.5\" scale length with a 1.65″ nut width, while the 9.5″-14\" compound fingerboard radius accommodates both open chords and lead work.   You can bend to your heart's content in the higher register without the fear of fretting out.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere this guitar really stands out is how it sounds.  It's loaded with a great set of pickups that provide a versatility not seen on most guitars.  In the neck and middle positions, it's the Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot Strat pickups, which bring a warm midrange and amazing clarity to the sparkling top end.  In the bridge position, it's a Fralin Modern PAF humbucker for higher output, thicker midrange, and powerful modern tones.  You also get a the ability to blend and get series\/parallel sounds with a push-push pot.  Whether clean or overdriven, or layered with effects, the Idris HSS can handle it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is loaded with top-notch hardware as well.  You get a MannMade Vibrato bridge, along with the Novo 18:1 tuners.  The guitar also features a bone nut, cream white knobs and a beautiful tortoiseshell pickguard with a matching backplate.  \u003cspan\u003eWe chose to do this one in Olympic White with a matching headstock - this guitar brings 60's vibes with modern functionality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrung with Stringjoy Signature 10-48 strings for balanced tone and playability, the Nucleus Idris HSS arrives in a Novo Deluxe Padded Soft Case for protection.
