The Hand Built Expression 6 string
Master luthier Ralph Novak hand builds every Novax Expression guitar to be the consummate Fanned-Fret® 6 string. The neck scale delivers solid lows and sparkling highs thanks to the compensated tuning of the patented Fanned-Fret® system. All details - proportions, electronics, wood combinations, fret binding, body laminate, carving and finish - are executed with masterful precision. Each guitar is the expression of the luthier's craft enabling the player to have the finest instrument with which to perform. Designed and built to be the exemplary Fanned-Fret guitar, the Expression neither nods nor winks at conventional design. This is a new guitar made for players developing a distinctive style that has no place for compromise. The Expression is balanced in tone, string tension and weight. The unique body styling is the ergonomic answer to the player's need for beauty and playability. No other guitarist plays or sounds like you and no other guitar plays or sounds like the Expression.

A Fanned-Fret exclusive, the optional extended-range (XR) neck combines standard scale length for the treble strings with an extra-long scale for the bass strings. Drop tuning has never sounded fuller. String tension on the low string is good down to C.
