Here is a factory tour kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6uamIyJoqiNr7s

[@jonbongjovi1869]

you barely showed off the guitars (like the finished ones)!!! #$%@!!!!

[@Gaslight.Guitar]

What do you do for a living? "Hitting perfectly finished bodys with a stone" AWESOME !!!

[@MegaAnarcist]

Hitting 2-3k$ guitar guitars with a stone 😂

[@SA8TER21]

I used to work at Premier Builders Guild when they were in business making Dennis's Fano line of guitars. He came out and trained a few guys and I remember one of the guys told me. "You have to find that right rock that just works."

[@Gaslight.Guitar]

@@SA8TER21 🤣🤣🤣✌ great stuff

[@RossD8]

John Bollinger-musician, writer, bon-vivant and man about town. And now tour guide. Nashvilles' Swiss Army knife.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Bon-vivant love it.John has such a confident approachable demeanor and very talented really like watching him work.

[@dodgedandle8311]

John’s a Top Gezzer and fine player..🌞⭐️👍🏻🤠

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Honestly don't really care for the Rig Rundown when John isn't hosting it.

[@GerryBlue]

A true Renaissance Man

[@imannonymous7707]

Yea john does a wiked job hosting this series. He asks the right questions and the musicians respect him.Hes got some pretty cool rigs himself. And no , im not gay, lol not that any things wrong with that

[@janharris1085]

With COVID and Novo's transition to direct sales, I was in a position to place an order and get my guitar delivered in about 5 months, which was great! I got a Serus J in ocean turquoise. I am very pleased!

[@jasperholt4968]

Love that finish. I got the Ice Blue Metallic with black mastery and black foils.

[@splatastic244]

How do you make an order?? Ive been on their website but nothings available ;-; is it the customise thingy??

[@jasperholt4968]

@@splatastic244 yeah, you have to either order a custom which takes around 6 months to a year. Usually about a year. Or you can get one of the twenty special order slots that they release at the beginning of each month on their website. The Special order only takes three months but it's limited on the spec options you can choose. If you get lucky you can buy a Signature guitar they release on some Thursday mornings at 10am. They are one of a kind, hand built, and signed by Dennis himself.

[@kmatax9237]

I wonder how soon stewmac will come out with their ”professional relic rock n spike kit”and how much it’s going to cost😂

[@slimsantilli4476]

$79.99

[@drewdunn2066]

$87.99 with specialized distressing jig included.

[@kristopherk5454]

Diamond impregnated rock file $129

[@JeremyLeech]

Been a fan of them ever since I saw Rhett Shull use them. Need to get one of my own one of these days.

[@JeremyLeech]

@@sometimelater Lol how does that make them high? Because I found out about this brand of guitars by Rhett, and then seen lots of others and videos about them? So I want one? You comment makes no sense

[@playmoreguitar5393]

Well the prices have tripled in 4 years so if you wait any longer you going to be lucky to get one for under $6000. I'm over them.

[@JeremyLeech]

@@playmoreguitar5393 Lol there's plenty under that price. Depends what you want

[@bayougtr]

@@JeremyLeech Rhett didn’t build any guitars.

[@JeremyLeech]

@@bayougtr never said he made them. Although he did have some made for him. Never once said he made them. He plays them lol.

[@ronmorey3475]

With all due respect, Zane looks EXACTLY like the guy you’d picture who’s job it is to hit a guitar with a rock and a railroad tie.

[@AndreaAustoni]

My #1 bass is a relic but I cried a little when Zane started hitting that beautiful body with a freaking rock.

[@cannamail7570]

omg lmao

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

I want a Novo Solus H2 so bad. I’ll never have the scratch. They are so cool looking.

[@nickb.237]

How long till Rhett Shull comments on this??

[@joejones891]

Hmm… did we just get confirmation that the himbucker/P-90 combo is coming to the solus model option? Or was that just a shot of one Dennis’s signature run?

[@xb5883]

The sparkle with the grain is awesome! Special stuff.

[@sunsparkle8443]

agreed. I just don't know how anyone could want to buy it brand new, but deliberately damaged. It's beyond my understanding.

[@bluzzjazz]

I got my Serus J in Nov. 2020. I waited about 7 months to end of build. It did not disappoint. Ice blue metallic with Lollar Minis+ tone machine! Matt was great help when I was trying to decide on what I wanted, and Devin was such a good guy to work with on the final details. I would not hesitate to buy another Novo. While not inexpensive, the quality matches the price. Now I have an inkling for a Miris!

[@charliewesley94]

I received my J in Oct 2020! :) It's my favorite guitar.

[@pharmerdavid1432]

Softer wood like pine filters the sound, giving it a warmer, rounder tone, plus it's light weight and resonant, exactly what you want in a solid body guitar. I'm a die-hard telecaster and stratocaster and Les Paul Special player for solid body guitars, but Novo is more interesting to me than PRS for some reason, and I'll have to give one a try!

[@papasmamas1]

Sparkle + wood grain with texture ? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Too awesome!! One looked like inca silver but with the wood grain, wow, too amazing.

[@reverb508]

Yes! I've been waiting for this!

[@dat219]

The background music sucks and takes away from the interview. In my opinion

[@RagggedTrouseredPhilanthropist]

John Bollinger; best posture in the music business.

[@BattousaiMLT]

If the guy doing the relicing loses the rock it will be a devastating blow to the company

[@dat219]

I'll say it again the background music sucks no need for it over the interview

[@shawnbowling5766]

Fantastic video!

[@danrobertson7095]

I have a Serus J with 3 P90s in Orange on order about 8 months away now, can't wait!

[@DavidAzizinamini]

Novo's are king! Thank you for this great vid PG! #amishpine4life:)

[@dark_brew6628]

Man has an age of triumphs shirt on, what a legend.

[@cannamail7570]

seeing the shirt made me smile.

[@chrisfit]

I think Jim Carry should play John in the movie.

[@MrNatan1000]

Was that a bass headstock on the computer?

[@40WattPodcast]

They’re working on a bass model as we speak. They are trying to get them built to have a bunch to sell immediately and then they’ll take orders

[@charliewesley94]

There's a bass at the end in Dennis' office hanging in the background as well. They are being released soon...

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Been a fan of Dennis's work for a long time.Good to see the success he has achieved.Also bringing so many talented individuals in the Nashville area along and giving them a chance to practice their artistry in his factory.

At first I thought it was Ron Chapman!! LOL!

[@deangianotti906]

must be pretty stressful to have your manager and a camera crew watch your work while explaining it's a very precise job lol

[@mikki9644]

a pinrouter is way faster then a cnc......but labor cost more....

[@VonBluesman]

Great video and content. Seems like a real bunch of down to earth, honest, caring, nice, and talented people that make up the company. Every owner raves about how good the Novo guitars are.

[@joshuataft5541]

I want a distressed on bad. Hate it if u want I like it

[@robsthedon]

Willy wonker for sure

[@ramonrodriguez4372]

Destiny t shirt. he must play with Rhett and Zach

[@cannamail7570]

prolly also with andy wood

[@thinkingjack]

They have some amazing stuff, wow man

[@frederikthaysen6931]

This video made me purchase a Serus S in 64 3-tone sunburst and a Serus J in Ocean Turquoise. I can’t wait to get them!! That sparkle sunburst in the video is one of the most beautiful finishes, I have ever seen! The painters at Novo truly are wizards and some of the best in the world right now😍✨

[@kmatax9237]

Pine, check, cnc machine, check, sparkle gun, check, rock and spike,check, freezer, check. Ok, ready for production! Lol Seriously, kudos to these guys have no problem showing this that nobody else does!!!

[@Mexxx65]

I want my Novo TV!!!!

[@ChrissyOneMusic]

Thanks for sharing, and giving us a good look at that Serus bass hanging in Dennis’s office. 😃

[@hchoe741]

*pine is naughty*

[@DevilsAdvocate92]

Now that I heard about it I‘d love myself one of them Amish pine guitars It’s such a unique feature, you don’t get that stuff in Europe

[@reidhowland]

Thanks for introducing me to Novo - they'd passed me by somehow. Wow!

[@JTHeidrick]

I have played 7 different Novo models. The best, hands down, is my custom Novo Miris J with the Gold Foil pickups. I got mine with a flamey rosewood fretboard neck and it is gorgeous. I have played literally 400 different guitars over the years. This Miris J is #1. If you can get one with Gold Foils, you will never need to buy another guitar again. No joke.....it IS that good!

[@williamdon3442]

When the time is right I’m for sure getting a novo. Just beautiful guitars. Seeing how they build them let’s you know that the quality is there.

[@xdoctorblindx]

I NEED THE BASS IN DENNIS'S OFFICE! He started building basses, and I absolutely must own a Dennis Fano bass!

[@gckbowers411]

Instead of general wear and tear, I would rather buy a guitar with a very oddly specific relicking. Like bullet holes or the pickguard melting down the side or a bunch of wood pecker holes.

[@Simto]

I can't tell you how much I want a Serus J in mermaid sparkle.... They have the best metallic and sparkle finishes in the business. Dennis has such a great eye for design. One of the best builders around.

[@Phil_Hayes]

Really enjoy this factory tour. I have one coming in this June.

[@thinkingjack]

Their distressing process is freaking awesome!

[@thomkopal1740]

Yes - EXCEPT I sincerely hope the guy with the rock and the spike does not end up with repetitive stress injuries. That's a serious debilitation in progress right there. Take care!!

[@luisrivera3623]

I don’t like scratchingd in my guitars.

[@CoryBrunnemann]

Am I crazy or is all the footage sped up?! 😅 Anyway Novo guitars are so incredible, maybe someday..

[@savethedandelions]

more of these tours, please! i love seeing how the sausage is made!

[@mikeflanders1292]

Hate to tell you guys, but pine is a super soft, cheap wood. I'd say they're using it because it's easy to source without spending any money. It's too bad, because pine is not stable whatsoever, and is not going to last. Why do you think fender moved away from using pine, and no other manufacturers use it?? It's extremely affordable, if was actually any good, all manufacturers would use it....

[@Stratking01]

So you’re telling me I gotta pay Gibson CS price for someone bang at my guitar with a rock and then throw it in a deep freezer? Nah, I’m good bro.. I’ll save maybe extra $500 and do that shit myself

[@BK-lx5mo]

Do I see a neon pink body with a FLOYD ROSE route @15:58 ? Oh my \m/ Also, does Dennis still do the compound radius fingerboards? Those early Fano guitars (~2011) are some of the best guitars I've ever played.

[@jasperholt4968]

Yeah, you can order a compound radius if you buy a custom.

[@richardmckrell4899]

Instead of Novo Guitars, how about Fat Old Smelly Guy Guitars?

[@ES-ns1kd]

The relics from novo look great but if I’m spending 4K on a guitar I’d personally prefer the extra light distress finish and my actual playing causes the relic

[@DanRodriguez1]

wow that blue guitar 17:19

[@macdad159]

Sexy guitars. Love the look.

[@imannonymous7707]

Pine and nitro hmmm well thats interesting. Id love to see what an exact copy of an early broadcaster proto type sounds and plays like. And i love the checking look on pine, really cool man. Come on jon pick one of them up and rock out bro,

The General Manager is Rob Chapman's twin brother!!

[@buck7477]

Not sure why they won’t give me the option for a Chrome plate under my Knobs on the Solus H2 ! There building one in the video!

[@reverb508]

I just got a Novo Serus P2 and it is by far the loudest and most resonant guitar I own. The neck and body vibrate like crazy when I strum a chord. I’ve never been so giddy strumming an unplugged electric guitar.

[@jasperholt4968]

I'm proud to say that I know how that feels. I just got my Custom Serus J two days ago. They are so resonant and light.

[@JeremySmith23]

as if i didn’t want a novo bad enough already

[@mikesatawake2277]

I've never played a Novo and I'm sure they're great guitars but man, I do not like their headstocks.

[@MisterTee]

That pink sparkle guitar will be a great guitar for rock

[@lukedadrift1980]

Sorry but that is one UGLY looking guitar quality is tops but looks should matter to''

[@flybynight1929]

Interesting factory. Someone slipped an Ibanez Artist in the bosses office I see.

[@haskitt]

Ah yes! Thanks, I was thinking Schecter but def Ibanez.

[@teerexness]

That crappy old waterbed frame we put in the garbage is now an amazing "tonewood".

[@johnmiller9219]

17:13 that pink body hanging appears to be floyd prepped with no pg. That's my style not sure what that is

[@ThomasMetal75]

Did I just hear that pine is "knoty", lol?!?

[@ricky4214]

you have the one guy who is a craftsman, and the next step you have zane with a rock and a heavy hand

[@GuitarExpress]

Very interesting!

[@edwardssistershands]

Buying a new guitar that looks used and beat up will never register with me as sane.

[@nickcerase1646]

Great video, well done. Novo really have the formula sorted, great attitude, wonderful guitars..

[@reverb508]

Speaking from experience, the first self-inflicted ding hurts your heart way less when the guitar is already reliced 😂

[@benlogan430]

The world would be a better place if all guns were Sparkle Guns!

[@onixtheone]

Maybe we can get that pine even lighter by chambering the body in some areas!

[@felixayala05]

@2:28 We are not gonna run out of pine. Interesting.

[@kenrussell1093]

How long do you have to cure pine, given that it is the sappiest wood around?

[@hansbrede2862]

It's kiln dried and then thermally modified which "sets" most of the resin and turpentines.

[@jwiegand1022]

Well crap now I want one.... thanks John lol

[@jamesprice6381]

hey man, u NEED ta do a interview on O'Dell Guitars N Wilkesboro NC The guys an absolute monster at this ............

[@JohnWDGTandTele]

I know where I want to work when I retire!!😀

[@bluglass7819]

Cf rods in a pine neck would be a fun experiment.

[@ryanintopeka]

That Silver guitar with the Blue pickguard and the F hole lookin thing looks insane. Want.

[@anonymousforensic]

Novo is so cool! I don’t know that I’ll ever own one, but I’d love to play one. If you haven’t checked it out, their podcast is a great time. It’s like hanging out with a group of friends, talking about gear and music. You get to meet each member of the shop one episode at a time.

[@joserra79]

Every rock hit on 15:00 costs 32,50$

[@buck7477]

That guitar kinda looks like the old Leo Fender Music man stingray! Ha! Nice do it before Ernie ball. I’ve been waiting for Ernie ball to re release them but there not cooperating. There stingray and Sabre are nothing like Leo Fenders versions!

[@wildwolf8983]

Is the interviewer related to Jim Carey? Lol

[@michaeldutill9921]

Over priced but pleced , that the expensive feature

[@nathanpickett202]

Best guitar I have ever owned. I sold it because I discovered I'm not a J series fan. May get a T series down the road. The Mirus at 12:45 I absolutely love! Yes, I'll have that one please!

[@1101964]

absolutely love them, i really want one , but down here in Australia I'm looking at the $ 7000 mark.....way out off my price range....

[@dep1001]

Awesome! Deffo some cool guitars!

[@taz-b5m]

Seriously he can't recognise flamed maple? Looks completely different from pine. Besides, it's almost unheard of to use pine for neck shafts.

[@xchops8278]

have to cop to this.....saw you in the airport Jon and I gave a few double takes and did not say hi, but thanks for traveling around and doing all of these videos. Always a great way to start the day.

[@nebelweiss6999]

Are going to the US in 2024. Is it too late to order a Novo with jazzmaster specs/ pickups?

[@denyel_]

needa get better to justify buying one 🤞🏼

[@rubbadubdubba]

I want to be the sparkle gun guy

[@mofateam1]

I have a fano tele beside some vintage guitars which i never will sell but those novo guitars are by far my favorite guitars i can´t afford atm...

[@heckatron2586]

Do a Dunable Factory Tour!

[@petermcconaghie7745]

I'll have a Serus J with P-90's in Tillyburst and a side order of fries please. In and Out.

[@warner631]

Tell you what, I make guitars in my "free time". This is absolutely how I would do it if I could involve other people, I'm a fan.

[@gregbradshaw7220]

Not worth the $5500 price tag with cnc
