Full Description

Style that exceeds any other

Irresistible. The beautiful Luna Fauna Butterfly is an entirely unique guitar that gives you elegance in appearance like no other instrument in existence. Featuring a marvellous gloss natural finish over a quilt maple top, it'll shine and sparkle with gracefulness. The butterfly feature made from abalone shell gives the Fauna an exquisite, natural vibe. This is a guitar so alluring, you don't even need to play it to enjoy it.

Terrific, balanced tone

If you ever do decide that you've had enough of staring at the Fauna's natural beauty, you'll find it's capable of producing gorgeous sound that matches its captivating appearance. Luna have crafted it with a combination of the very best tonewoods in guitar manufacturing to ensure all-encompassing sound that always delivers.

You can enjoy incomparable brightness and sustain thanks to the guitar's maple body. Maple tonewood is renowned for providing sharp, crisp sound, especially in the mid-range and high-end. Your higher pitched notes will sing with definition and clarity. This is particularly superb for more delicate fingerpicking styles, when the softer nature of your playing needs to be communicated with sharpness in order for it to be heard with maximum quality.

Depth in the low-end is added by a dense mahogany neck. Typically warm and earthy sounding, mahogany will give fullness and richness to your rhythm playing. Every chord you strike will be conveyed with resonance. Finally, a snappy attack is brought by the pau ferro fingerboard. You can play with wonderful dynamism. This truly is a guitar equipped with the perfect balance of woods to give you unbeatable, all-encompassing tone.

Superb for the stage

Communicating acoustic warmth and resonance accurately during live performance is essential in an electro acosutic guitar. Without the correct pickup or preamp, you'll find your playing losing its beautiful, natural quality. Luna know this. That's why they've loaded the Fauna Butterfly with a magnificent Fishman Isys+ preamp to give you stunningly clear live sound.

The Isys is a fantastic pickup system that'll deliver the exact acoustic sound of your instrument at high output levels. It's ideal for retaining beautiful, natural sound in even the largest of venues. Furthermore, it's also masterful at eliminating noise interference, ensuring your music always benefits from outstanding clarity.

The Luna story

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 create Luna guitars, an instrument line 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 thanks to her award winning stained glass work. She then applied these techniques to her new line of instruments. 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.

Luna's immense quality has led to many men adopting their instruments as favourites. The company is now an industry leader, and creates instruments for both female and male musicians of all ages.
