Add to CompareNovax 5 String Mandolin Alder, Fan Fret
Novax Guitars and Basses are multiscale innovators. Long known to be the guitar of choice for the incredible Charlie Hunter, Novax delivers toneful instruments with great fit and finish — consistently. This fan-fret 5 String Electric Mandolin is a rare bird indeed. Very few were ever produced, which is a bit of a mystery, because this is one seriously cool and original instrument. From the modern shape, to the great sounding pickups, this little guy has killer looks and a sound that will make your jaw drop.

Here we have a wonderful custom Novax multiscale guitar. This Expression, now renamed AX-6, features a stunning Flamed Maple top over Mahogany with a scale combination of 27.25″ on the bass and 25″ on the treble. There’s a Bartolini Soapbar pickup and a Graph Tec Ghost Bridge System with a 9 pin jack as well as the standard 1/4″ jack. There are controls to blend the pickups and mini toggles for advancing the MIDI channel and a coil tap. All of this adds up to a super versatile guitar well suite for Jazz players seeking the best of everything.
Guitars and guitar making have been a passion for Ralph Novak since his early teens, when he received a birthday gift of a guitar at age 14.
Intrigued by “how it worked” (as well as the process of learning to play the guitar), he soon began a primitive attempt at “modifying” the Stella acoustic. Soon after, a Zim-Gar electric guitar was acquired and subsequently “modified”…
Those first guitars inspired a lifelong love of the guitar as both a musical instrument and an engineering marvel.
Ongoing exploration of guitar design and aesthetics over Ralph’s five decade career led to innovations along the way as well as maintaining Ralph’s enthusiasm for the art and craft of guitarmaking.
