Description
Hartwood Hollow Body Electric Guitar with Vintage Style Humbuckers
The Hardwood Novella provides a retro-inspired design with modern functionality. Suitable for Blues, Jazz, Rockabilly and more, unlock a seemingly infinite number of tones with the bridge and neck vintage voiced humbuckers. These offer a tight bass response for a defined low-end with a smooth top-end and articulate midrange. Both can be used in isolation, or even as a blended combination thanks to the independent volume/tone pots and three-way toggle switch.
Comprised of a laurel fretboard with aesthetically pleasing pearl block inlays and 20 jumbo frets, the fretboard is fitted to a maple neck with a "C" shaped profile that is equally suited to fast paced licks as it is complex Jazz chord voicings. The bone nut, adjustable bridge and chrome tuners work in unison, providing remarkable tuning stability. Its eye-catching single cutaway design is enhanced by an elegant 5-ply cream binding and chrome hardware.
Stage, studio and performance ready
Whether you’re performing amplified on-stage, or unplugged to an intimate reception. The Novella’s versatility makes it well suited to even the most demanding and varied of situations. At the heart of the basswood body sits two parallel tone bars, running down the sides of the centre. Designed in house by Hartwood’s team of specialists, this ensures a robust archtop that is built to last.
The Novella’s traditional control layout consisting of independent volume and tone pots for each pickup, as well as a three-way toggle switch ensures your approach to tone shaping will feel instinctive. Utilise the neck pick-up for a warm, melodic full-bodied sound, whilst the bridge pickup proves useful when a natural, more percussive low-output tone is required. Not only does the Novella offer fantastic levels of resonance and sustain, its deep arched top body is also comfortable to hold, making it ideal for a broad range of players.
