From Novelli:
"Custom order offset jobs for Steve Novelli operate in the inverse of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory method: rather than summon something hideous to life from grotesque stolen waste parts, in the Novelli workshop, Steve is able to lovingly combine the best elements of guitar-making: his and his clients favorite woods, electronic and hardware components from multiple premium brands, and then combine those with his and his clients’ own creative and artistic impulses and flourishes to design and create the perfect hybrid sonic monsters. The Custom Order Offset was created originally for a Nashville pro friend of Steve’s who travels internationally and needed a versatile guitar capable of pulling off a variety of sounds and styles--but who had specific aesthetic desires as well, like a Jazzmaster-style body, but lightweight and with a maple neck, and customized color choices. Check.
Steve’s Take: 'Pretty much like a Jazzmaster, but chambered and lighter weight! This is (Nashville producer) Ed Pettersen calling me and saying can you make me an offset. That’s a guy that knows what he wants component wise. And he wanted a maple neck, fingerboard and you can’t get a Jazzmaster with a maple neck. He likes the feel of the Jazzmaster. He wanted it to be lightweight, so it’s chambered. Putting all that into the guitar. I do these with many different combinations of pickups.'"
