Luna Art Vintage Dread Solid Top Distressed Acoustic Guitar - Nearly New

Full Description

Solid Spruce Top & Mahogany Laminate Body

The Luna Art Vintage features a stunning solid spruce top that offers bright attack, broad dynamic range, and crisp articulation. Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a dynamic tonal pallet and accommodates numerous playing techniques. The wood itself 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 singing highs. This stunning tonewood is contrasted with mahogany laminate back and sides, which delivers clarity, definition, and a balanced tone.

Mahogany Neck Topped With Rosewood Fingerboard

The neck features a set neck construction in a C shape to provide a comfortable playing experience. The mahogany neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a bright, warm, and sparkly tone that really shines through when using finger picking techniques. The Art Vintage Dread's neck is made from mahogany because the wood responds greatly to picking, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease. The Art Vintage has exclusive moon phase fingerboard markers, and is finished in distressed vintage brown-burst for an authentic worn vintage-vibe.

Dreadnought Voice

The Art Vintage features a dreadnought body shape, offering an enormous voice, and a balanced tone. The dreadnought shape was originally designed for hard pick attack, however the Art Vintage can handle many different genres and styles of play. The big body is ideal for players with a longer reach, and those more comfortable with the dreadnought size. The sheer volume the Art Vintage can project makes it ideal for the singer/songwriter, as vocalists can really push their diaphragm to the max and not feel too loud against the guitar's volume, as it will sing as loud as you do.

Distressed Vintage Aesthetic

The Art Vintage is dressed to impress, Luna are taking you back in time with this worn, authentic looking guitar. The aptly named Distressed dread has simple multi-stripe rosette, as seen on traditional acoustic models. The Art Vintage is ideal for those rock-vintage enthusiasts craving a worn aesthetic to match their personal style and musical taste. The Art Vintage Dread has Luna's exclusive moon phase fingerboard markers, inlaid in pearl to add a hint of Luna's signature styling, complemented by chrome hardware. The headstock has Luna's signature crescent moon brand logo which stands out beautifully against the distressed vintage brown-burst finish and distressed effect on open gear machine heads.

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.
