Product Ref: 107368
The Luna Safari Artist features a spruce top which produces a sonically-versatile character with a broad dynamics and a powerful, clear response. In addition, spruce's versatility enables it to accommodate numerous genres and playing styles with equal ease, providing an idyllic soundboard for travelling with. Furthermore, the spruce top is attached to mahogany back and sides, adding warmth and resonance to the spruce's bright yet versatile sonic-footprint. The mahogany back and sides also add emphasis to the bass and trebles with a meaty, punchy, woody characteristic. Together, the mixture of timbers provides the player with a 'classic' acoustic sound, perfect for the travelling player craving a rich, full, and versatile acoustic voice.
Constructed from mahogany, the Safari Artist's neck offers added warmth and resonance while also providing a quick and dynamic response. Additionally, mahogany's nature allows it to respond greatly to numerous genres and techniques with equal ease. To provide a comfortable playing experience, the Luna Safari Artist also features a C shaped neck profile, offering a comfortable grip up and down the neck whilst preventing the likeliness of a cramping hand. The neck is topped with walnut fingerboard that not only offers a pleasing aesthetic but provides a balanced, unique earthy tone.
Despite its small size, the dreadnought body and combination of tonewoods provide a strong, versatile tone suitable for a range of genres and playing styles. The dreadnought shape offers great acoustic volume and projection whilst delivering a well-rounded, balanced sound. Due to its travel size, the Safari Artist is an ideal travel companion, student guitar, or beginners guitar that will sit unobtrusively in the home or student accommodation. Furthermore, its more compact size is ideal for travelling with, as players don't have the burden of a heavy and large instrument that may cause inconvenience when travelling, perfect for beach days, campfire jams, life on the road, and camping trips.
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.
