DISC Luna Aurora Borealis 3/4 Guitar, Teal

Full Description

3/4 Size Body

The Luna Aurora features a 3/4 sized body which is ideal for beginners and children. Its compact size was built for comfort and to help younger players achieve their own playing style without the struggle of a full-sized guitar. The Aurora's body offers good projection and volume for its size, as well as a well-balanced sound that's suited to many different genres and styles of play.

Basswood Body

With a top and body constructed from basswood, the Luna Aurora delivers a well-balanced tone that is suited to numerous genres and styles of play. Basswood is a lightweight, fairly soft tonewood that offers a strong mid-range with good dynamics and definition. Players can achieve a well-rounded sound with good sustain, blended with great playability and comfort, the Aurora is certainly ideal for the beginners.

Mahogany Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

Constructed from mahogany, the Aurora's neck provides players with great durability and resonance. Mahogany is used to craft the neck because it responds greatly to numerous styles and techniques with ease, and delivers a sonic warmth that complements the Aurora's basswood construction beautifully. To provide comfort, the Luna Aurora features a C shaped neck profile, which offers players a comfortable and secure grip, reducing the likeliness of a cramping hand. Its neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard which produces a warm, bright, sizzling-sparkle that really shines through when playing fingerpicking techniques. The rosewood fingerboard also offers a smooth and energetic playing experience and is sprinkled with Luna's signature moon phase fingerboard markers for added beauty.

Luna History

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.
