Quilt maple construction

The Luna Flora Lotus Electro Acoustic is complete with a quilt maple top and maple back and sides, producing a bright and articulated tonal character with a good attack and great sustain. The Flora Lotus offers players a rich, sparkly, and full bodied sound that can accommodate numerous genres and playing techniques with ease and is especially suited to fingerpicking styled genres.

Mahogany neck & pau ferro fingerboard

The Luna Flora Lotus Electro Acoustic is fitted with a neck crafted from mahogany, delivering a resonant sound and offers a strong and durable construction. Its mahogany neck responds greatly to many different styles of play from fingerpicking to strumming styles with equal ease. To provide comfort the Flora Lotus's neck features a C shaped profile which also provides a better grip for the player. The neck is topped with a pau ferro fingerboard that produces a warm, bright, sizzling sparkle which really shines through when using fingerpicking techniques. Its pau ferro fingerboard also offers a smooth and energetic playing experience and is sprinkled with mother-of-pearl moon phase inlays, signature to Luna Guitars.

Grand auditorium cutaway body

The Luna Flora Lotus Electro Acoustic is complete with a grand auditorium body shape with a Venetian cutaway, which not only provides an extremely comfortable play, but offers easy access to upper frets. Its grand auditorium body produces a soft, bright tone which performs well across a range of styles but is well-suited to folk-styled genres. The Lotus's maple body adds definition and clarity to the guitars overall sound. This versatile and comfortable guitar from Luna also features a Venetian cutaway, which enables players to have full roam of the fingerboard with ease.

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.
