Novo Miris P2 Vs Fano PX6

I’ve spent some time recently alternating between these two, my 2020 Fano PX6 Alt De Facto (Lollar Imperials) and my new 2026 Novo Miris P2 (Fralin P90s). I wanted to do a quick breakdown of how they compare in the hand and how their design differences impact playability.

The 2020 Fano PX6 is an absolute rock machine. What immediately stands out is the flawless execution of the finish checking—the attention to detail here is incredible. It features a shorter, Gibson-style 24.75" scale length paired with a '50s round neck profile. The neck is definitely on the chunkier side, but it manages to be incredibly comfortable. Combined with the compound radius fretboard, that shorter scale gives the strings a slinkier, looser feel that makes bends effortless. At 3.8kg (8.3lbs), it has a reassuring weight to it that translates into massive, singing sustain, and the Lollar Imperials sound huge and articulate.

Just when I thought build quality couldn’t get much better, the Novo stepped it up. The craftsmanship on the Miris is honestly a notch above, which is saying a lot. It uses a longer, Fender-style 25.5" scale length, giving the strings a bit more tension and a snappier, more immediate response under the fingers. Even with that extra snap, the neck carve (Medium C)on this one is fantastic and sits even better in my hands than the Fano. It is incredibly lightweight, coming in at just 3.2kg (7.2lbs). The Fralin P90s are spectacular, offering that classic P90 bark when you dig in, but they remain highly versatile, with the longer scale adding a lovely extra layer of clarity and string definition.

TLDR; Honestly, you cannot go wrong with either of these guitars. The Fano gives you that classic, slinky, shorter-scale vibe in a solid, sustaining rock-and-roll tank, while the Novo delivers a snappier, highly resonant, and ergonomic evolution. Both are absolutely great guitars.

NGD Miris P2

I just took delivery of my new Novo Miris P2 with Fralin P90s, and I think the hype around Novo is justified. Owning 2020 Fano PX6 Alt de Facto, I was already familiar with this level of design, but I honestly think the build quality on this Novo is even slightly better-the refinement in the construction and the choice of components feels incredibly high-end.

The real magic is in the weight and resonance; at just 3.2kg (7.2lbs), it's remarkably lightweight and feels alive in your hands. That resonance translates beautifully through the Fralin P90s, which offer a massive harmonic range. They provide that signature P90 grit and growl when pushed, yet they retain a sparkling top-end clarity and note separation that ensures things never get muddy, even with complex chords. Of course, the Novo medium neck is the absolute star of the show-it's an exceptionally comfortable carve that makes the guitar feel broken-in and effortless to play from day one. It's a stunning, resonant machine that somehow managed to exceed my already high expectations!
