Luna Vista Wolf Tropical Wood Electro Acoustic Lefty W/ Case

Full Description

Stunning mixture of body tonewoods

The Luna Vista Wolf Tropical Wood is built with a sonically pleasing combination of tonewoods to make up its landscape scene including, jatoba, zebrawood, padauk, bird's eye maple, koa, and flamed maple. Jatoba delivers a warm, bright, sparkly tone that really shines through when using finger-picking techniques. Zebrawood produces mid-range focus, and dark over-tones, while padauk produces clear overtone content with a low to mid-end predominance, and has very similar tonal properties to jatoba, projecting bright note articulation. The bird's eye maple and flame maple offer excellent projection and a bright attack. The Vista Wolf's back and sides are made up of cocobolo which delivers an overall bright tone, emphasised by sparkling treble notes, and focused mid section, providing enhanced tone and projection.

The Luna look

The Luna Vista Wolf Tropical Wood is bright and vibrant, featuring a unique moonlit landscape design. The Vista Wolf has a wolf in its natural habitat howling up the sparkly moon, inlaid in mother of pearl, which provides a very pleasing aesthetic.

Mahogany neck & ebony fingerboard

The Luna Vista Wolf Tropical Wood is complete with a mahogany neck, offering great durability and superb resonance. Mahogany is commonly used to craft guitar necks, as the wood responds greatly to numerous playing techniques with ease. Luna have also provided you with a C shaped neck profile, which not only offers comfort, but enables players to get a firm grip without cramping hands. The neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard that delivers a bright attack, great sustain, and sparkly highs that really shine through when using finger picking techniques. Its smooth playing fingerboard is sprinkled with Luna's signature moon phase fingerboard markers for added beauty.

Grand concert cutaway

The Luna Vista Wolf Tropical Wood is ready with a grand concert shape, holding a solid mid-range register due to its smaller body and tapered waste, it has been described as the ultimate body cut for stage-use and studio sessions. The tapered waste keeps overtones in check and contributes to the focused, articulate sound it projects. The grand concert body is significantly smaller than the grand auditorium shape, providing a big sound, in a comfortable design, it features a short scale and lighter string tension, making it easier to play. Finger-picking styled guitarists will fall in love with the clarity and precision of this exceptionally designed guitar body.

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.
