♫ A TASTE OF CARBON FIBER - Carbon Fiber may have become a buzzword in the acoustic guitar world. You are intrigued. But the price of at least hundreds of dollars scares you off a little bit. Then you discover Nova Go. It's carbon fiber and less expensive. You are thinking about giving this a shot, right? This is what we intended: bringing quality carbon fiber acoustic guitar, that's of great value.

♫ WHY CARBON FIBER - Nova Go is made of carbon fiber composite material, which means it's impervious to temperature and humidity change. Taking it to chill on a beach with the hot bright sun up above, or to a hiking trip deep in a mountain, or even further to shoot some beautiful Instagram posts in a snow land, Nova Go would stay stable, with no warp nor cracks. That's the edge of carbon fiber acoustic guitars.

♫ SOLID BUILD & EASY TO PLAY - The body of Nova Go is 1/2 sized (35 in.), molded all in one piece, meaning that the bridge is a cohesive part of the top, not glued upon like traditional acoustic guitars. It would never snap or fall off. Meanwhile, we've put a truss rod into the neck, giving your more adjustability for the string action, even though the factory setup is already optimum.

✅[Bright and Clear Sound] The improved X bracing brings the acoustic guitar a fuller sound and better resonance. The body of the acoustic guitar is made of selected Sapele wood that has been natural drying for up to 5 years ensuring stability in sound transmissions and providing a brighter and clear sound with outstanding midrange and smooth high-range frequency. Great suitable for the fingerpicking playing style

✅[Well Made Craftsmanship] Featured with selected Sapele body bring you richer and brighter sound. The exquisite lacquer finish keeps the natural color of the woods and makes it easy to clean so that the acoustic guitar can keep new over 10 years of usage. The average 0.019" thickness of the finish minimizes the loss of acoustic sound and optimizes the acoustic resonance, durability, sound projection, and transmission

✅[Comfort Action and Playing] Built-in dual-way truss rod better balanced the tension caused by strings or temperature changes shrinking for a straight and durable neck. The cutaway design allows you to easily reach the upper register notes to play lead lines or chords
