Key Features
Product Ref: 107364
The Luna Art Recorder features a solid spruce top, which yields crisp articulation and delivers a broad dynamic range. Its solid top is extremely versatile in nature, enabling it to accommodate numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, from lighter fingerpicking styles to heavier, more aggressive strumming patterns. Spruce is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright sparkling highs. Additionally, the solid top is coupled with solid mahogany back and sides, which generates a rich, full, distinct warmth with plenty of resonance. Its solid back and sides also deliver a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity to please most playing styles.
The Art Recorder features a dreadnought cutaway body, which projects an enormous acoustic voice yet still maintains overall tonal balance. Furthermore, the dreadnought shape is well-suited to rock, folk, indie, punk, pop, and a player's unique style and technique. Its versatile dreadnought cutaway body also offers a comfortable playing experience to those more comfortable with bigger-bodied guitars and players with a longer reach. Additionally, its cutaway profile offers added comfort and provides easy access to upper frets and more challenging chords. Singer/songwriters are certain to love the dreadnought shape and solid wood construction, as singers are able to push their diaphragm to the max without feeling too loud against the guitar's volume, as it will sing as loud as you do.
The Luna Art Recorder comes equipped with a Fishman Presys+ preamp that offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal environments. The preamp features rotary controls for volume, bass, middle, treble, notch, and mic blend, as well as a button for phase. With these tone shaping options players have full control over adding a little extra to their amplified sound, perfect for the gigging guitarists and singer/songwriters. For added convenience, the Fishman Presys+ features a built-in tuner that has a bright, easy readable LED screen, perfect for tuning up or down in the darkest of venues, as well as being ideal for easy tuning when not plugged-in.
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.
