Luna Safari Muse Mahogany Travel Guitar

Full Description

Marvellous richness and resonance

All-encompassing acoustic sound. The Safari Muse's body constructed entirely from mahogany provides amazing depth to your playing. A dense tonewood ideally suited to acoustic instruments, mahogany will give your sound wonderful dynamism with excellent resonance and sustain. Every note you play will ring with authentic acoustic sound. The wood also offers a diverse tonal palette, meaning notes from the low-end, high-end, and everywhere in between will be delivered with definition and clarity.

Excellent playability

A guitar that you'll never want to stop playing. Luna have made every effort to ensure that the Safari Muse Travel Guitar provides you with a totally sensational, highly enjoyable playing experience. You'll always be comfortable at any position along the neck thanks to a "C"-shaped profile. This will fit snugly into the palm of your hand, eliminating cramp and allowing you to practice or perform for long sessions at a time without discomfort.

A smooth-playing walnut fingerboard allows you to glide up and down the frets at high speed. This helps you to play with dynamism and pace, perfect for those up-tempo chord sequences. A complete joy.

Unique, compact dreadnought

Portability with a big sound. The Safari's unique combination of being both travel-sized and having a dreadnought body shape makes it an incredibly versatile guitar. The dreadnought shape is perfect for delivering a rich, full sound, giving fantastic dynamism to your playing.

The smaller size, however, means that this guitar is also superb for travelling and for budding guitarists. Much more compact than traditional dreadnought guitars, this model is the ideal instrument for beginners looking to practice their skills on an easier-to-handle instrument. It's also perfect for experienced musicians looking for a guitar that they can easily take on the road with them. An outstanding all-rounder.

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.

Villiers' design expertise soon led to Luna expanding its product base to include a whole new range of stringed instruments, especially ukuleles. The science behind the crafting of top-calibre guitars worked perfectly in making ukuleles with magnificent sound. Not to mention that they looked stunning. Luna's 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.
