Comparison
The useful comparison is not only price. It is what the instrument gives back under the hands.
Build
Factory guitars can be excellent and consistent. NOVA is aimed at players who want workshop thinking: model-specific design, luthier setup, and a build that is adjusted around response and comfort.
Sound
NOVA uses double-top response, offset soundhole projection, A.R.S. back-and-side research, and bridge design to deliver a voice that feels quick, open, and easy to control.
Value
NOVA is priced near the upper factory-guitar world, but the build goal is closer to a luthier instrument: sound, comfort, and a serious setup without jumping into the highest handmade price tiers.
