Product Ref: 125031
The Henna Oasis is crafted from a range of tonewoods including, cedar for the top-wood, a mahogany neck, mahogany back and sides, and jatoba fingerboard. The solid cedar top-wood projects warm, sweet, and intimate tones, with loads of its own unique character that is really sonically pleasing. The dominant overtones make the Henna Oasis a favourable choice for finger-picking guitarists. This cedar top is balanced out well by the mahogany sections of the guitar, as mahogany is denser and produces a richer tone, with emphasised warmth in the mid and low ranges. Mahogany is used a lot in the acoustic world, this is because it is relatively economical, durable, attractive, easy to work with, and resonant. Mahogany also contains distinct character of a soft warmth, but is well-balanced with a bite of its own.
Constructed from mahogany, the Henna Oasis's neck provides players with a sonic warmth, as well as superb resonance and great durability. Mahogany is used commonly to craft guitar necks, this is because the wood responds greatly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease. Luna have also provided players with a C shaped neck profile, which not only offers comfort but enables players to get a firm grip without cramping hands. Its smooth playing neck is topped with a jatoba fingerboard that delivers a warm, bright, sizzling-sparkle which really shines through when playing fingerpicking techniques. In addition, the jatoba fingerboard also offers a smooth and energetic play. For added elegance, the fingerboard is sprinkled with Luna's signature moon phase inlays.
The Luna Henna Oasis features a cutaway design, providing great comfort and creating an easy playing experience. The main purpose of the cutaway style is to allow easy access to the higher frets, improving your style and allowing complete freedom through-out the entire fingerboard. The folk body size delivers a powerful mid-range response while its small and narrow size makes it perfect for finger-picking players.
The Luna Henna Oasis comes with an on-board Fishman Presys+ preamp. It is designed to offer maximum control, performance, and quality in a small format. The sophisticated Presys+ system features volume, bass, mid, and treble controls, also featuring a phase switch, and built-in tuner with easy read LED screen for quick and reliable setup. The presys+ also includes a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup, as well as a low battery indicator, and a unique pivot design for easy access to the battery compartment.
Yvonne Villiers is an accomplished stained-glass artist who envisioned Luna guitars. Her inspiration for a line of guitars designed to maximise playing comfort came from her mother, Hilda Villiers, a bassist for over 40 years. Whilst watching her mum on stage, Yvonne couldn't help but notice the massive struggle her mum had whilst playing. With her mum being petite and using such a heavy instrument, she used to complain of how hard it was to be a woman and try to play these big bass guitars.
Yvonne then questioned if there were others like her mum that struggled with the same problems and pains. She came up with the idea of a woman specific guitar, uniquely tailored to fit their bodies, their hands, and their musical styles. Yvonne moved on to created Luna guitars, a line of guitars made for female musicians of all ages and crafted with luminous visual beauty to engage women's minds and spirits along with their talent.
Yvonne already had brilliant artistic skills and use of colour, she then applied the same techniques as she did with her award winning stained glass work to her new line of guitars. She is known for using rich colours that shimmer and shine with every movement providing an eye-catching design along with the great musical tones Luna guitars deliver. Yvonne's design expertise has led so many men to respond to Luna's well-crafted, spirit-engaging instruments that the company now creates guitars for both female and male musicians of all ages.
