Guitars as unique as you
2011
yvonne de VilliersFounder and muse, Luna Guitars
Luna’s Twofold Vision Statement: To craft with artistic sensibility fine stringed instruments
that are comfortable and affordable. To motivate, encourage and empower ordinary people to unleash
their creativity and become world changers.
For this year’s cover, we chose to feature some of the many players who have sent us their
pictures: players so various they may seem connected by a love of music and nothing else.
Don’t be fooled. We’ve learned over the last 8 years that the extraordinary Luna tribe is
made up of individuals only disguised as ordinary people.
in reality we are free thinkers confident enough to follow our hearts and instincts; artists
who derive meaning from visual symbols that, like music, speak a universal language;
intuitive women, men, children who know that small things actually are the big things;
musicians who want our instruments to reflect our individuality; citizens of the world who
believe we can make a difference and are involved in advancing the greater good in our
own back yards; local anthropologists who honor and celebrate both our own culture and
the cultures of others; human beings who value authenticity, who challenge the status quo.
Here we like to think that the Luna tribe has been drawn together by instruments that
merge form and function, that engage the senses and fire the imagination. if you’re already
a Luna player, we send our sincere thanks for putting your faith in us. if you are not, we hope you will consider joining the Luna tribe!
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one” ~ Jane Howard

ginspired by the roman goddess of flowers and plants, Luna Guitars’ Flora models feel as fresh as the springtime their muse represents. Cutaway bodies topped in quilted maple with maple sides and backs give the Flora series a full and satisfying range of sound that’s the perfect complement to their expression of nature’s beauty.

FLorA pASSion FLowerthe Passion Flower guitar is a lovely evocation of the blossom for which it is named.
From the showy bloom that graces its sound hole to the delicate small parlor body in dramatic trans purple over quilted maple, the Passion Flower is a beautiful instrument.
FLorA roSethe rose design wraps around the sound hole before trailing gracefully onto the
lower bout of this folk profile instrument. the red tinted abalone blossoms are stunning against the blonde quilt maple top.
FLorA LoTuSthe Flora Lotus is the perfect companion for musical creation with the full sound
produced by its grand auditorium cutaway body design. the guitar’s unique sound hole takes its shape from the outline of the pristine white flower floating
majestically on a background of deep purple.
“Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow.”

attached to the rest of the world.”John Muir
Amd SerieS GuiTArSthe americana Collection has a classic, traditional look and designs drawn from our unique cultural heritage. the aM e100 features the
bald eagle….the only eagle unique to north america and the emblem of the u.s. since 1782 because of “its long life, great strength,
and majestic looks”.
the aMt 100’s signature pick guard suggests the feel of tooled leather, and the herringbone binding suggests stitching; both evocative of
the american West. For the purists who want a strictly traditional look without a preamp, the aM D50 offers finesse and uncompromising
sound quality. While the aM D 100 offers the same features as the D50 with the addition of a B-Band® preamp in a cut-away profile.
Designed with superior woods and tonal bracing the americana series delivers incredible tone from low to high frequencies.

the Henna series incorporates our folk style cutaway body, pairing its mahogany sides and back with either a solid Cedar
or solid spruce top for tone that is uniquely pleasing and distinctive as the instrument’s show-stopping henna artwork.
the henna design, a custom creation of renowned uK artist alex Morgan, is faithfully reproduced through leading-edge
laser etching - in effect, tattooing the intricate design into the instrument’s wood.
state-of-the-art laser etching technology faithfully recreates the intricate henna designs on these breathtaking guitars. these instruments’ folk styling provides a perfect background
that evokes the sensuous lines and curves that make henna body art such a beguiling form of expression. rich woods and complex tones offer players a guitar that is as
unforgettable in its craft as it is in its artistry.

a second henna design graces the abalone Luna logo on the gently curved maple headstock. elegant and durable brushed nickel tuners provide smooth, precise adjustment.
Complimenting the design effort is the inclusion of a state-of-the-art B-Band® preamp tuner with 3-band eq that maintains the intimate and natural acoustic tonal quality of these fine instruments.

an oracle was a priest or priestess acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical Greek antiquity. a person or thing regarded as an infallible authority or guide on something.
Following Luna’s innovative tradition, the oracle series foresees the future of guitar architecture and takes solid top guitar ornamentation into uncharted territory.

the whole point of Zen practice is to become fully aware, here, now . . . to come home to and inhabit each precious, present moment. Luna’s Zen awakens players to their own true nature. the maple fingerboard is inlaid with rosewood calligraphy that reads Wisdom, Beauty, truth, Courage, Grace, Peace and Love. the sound hole is surrounded by a rosewood inlaid Bagua against a solid sitka spruce top.

the crescent moon on Luna’s eclipse series shines from the edge of the sound hole in rosewood against a solid spruce top. to complete the night sky theme, Luna’s logo is set on a matching headstock with satin nickel tuners while Luna’s mother- of- pearl signature moon phase fret markers make their way across the finger board.
orAcLe drAGonFLy
a fanciful trio of inlaid dragonflies gathered around the soundhole on a solid spruce top make the oracle Dragonfly among Luna Guitars’ most distinctive models. Like the dragonfly from which it draws its inspiration, the oracle Dragonfly speaks to the spirit’s desire to find its way, to transform itself, to reach out through the magic of music.

Luna’s Dolphin is a remarkable instrument featuring a trinity of inlaid rosewood dolphins swimming around the soundhole against a solid sitka spruce top.

Luna’s Crane takes players to new heights of both visual and playing enjoyment. Laser etching technology is used in a fresh new way to craft the triad of intertwined cranes that grace the sound hole against a solid cedar top.

every now and then an artist comes along whose music reaches out and touches the soul of all who hear them…virtuoso guitarist, singer and
composer Vicki Genfan is among those artists… using 31 alternate tunings and the percussive technique she calls ‘slap-tap’, Vicki has been recognized
among the world’s greatest guitarists.

Vicki Genfen started out playing the Muse 12 string and Luna artist trinity,
but had longed for a Henna guitar of her dreams with all the bells and whistles that her particular type of
playing requires.
to that end, Luna worked with master luthier Gray Burchette to build the
ultimate Luna Guitar.

Luna’s black eclipse guitar was so popular that we decided to offer a few more color and profile options.
the crescent moon on Luna’s eclipse series now shines brightly in mother-of-pearl against trans black,
trans blue, trans purple or trans pink. to complete the night sky theme, Luna’s logo is set against a matching
headstock while Luna’s mother- of- pearl signature moon phase fret markers make their way across a
slim finger board.

Magnificent instruments that offer tremendous flexibility for players of all musical styles, the Muse series of acoustic and acoustic/electric models is Luna’s tribute to creative inspiration. Like their namesakes, the muses, these instruments will fire the creative spirit with their mellow tones and beautiful, rich woods. Lovingly designed to incorporate the delicate twists and turns of ancient Celtic artwork, the Muse guitars are built to please players who seek instruments that produce exquisite sound and offer unparalleled playing comfort at a surprisingly affordable price. on the heelcap of each Muse is a Celtic triskele, the trinity of life …earth sea & sky, father, mother child and symbol of the goddess in three forms: maiden, mother and crone. Like music, this ancient symbol represents the eternal rhythm of life.

the resonator guitar is a favorite of Hawaiian, Blues, Country, and Bluegrass players. in contemplating a design that would appeal to players in the vast geographical stretch from Hawaii to the Mississippi Delta to nashville to the mountains of appalachia, i asked myself “what common element would tie the diverse musical genres and geographies together?” Much of Luna’s inspiration is drawn from nature, and i discovered that different species of the lovely Magnolia tree are found in all of these areas...... thus a Magnolia blossom became the inspiration for for Luna’s steel Magnolia.

Luna’s High-tide ukuleles take their inspiration from the full moon at the first fret which causes
the abalone wave fret markers below it to “rise” as they make their way up the fretboard towards
the moon’s pull. the high tide series is crafted from exotic tropical hardwoods, and the Luna
“full moon” sticker inside the sound hole is framed by an abalone ring.
Both are equipped with an onboard pre-amp for easy live performances.
DoLPHin & FLoraL ConCert
the Dolphin Concert ukulele sports a trinity of inlaid abalone and mother-of-pearl dolphins around the soundhole against trans azure over
flame maple waves. the floral spray around the sound hole of the Floral Concert ukulele
includes Hibiscus and Plumeria.

Luna’s tattoo ukuleles’ designs are based on traditional Hawaiian body
ornamentation. the designs were monochromatic, tattooed in black
against brown skin. the patterns and layout were strongly geometric and
there were many shapes and symbols which represented the natural island
world: stones, waves, fish, sharks, turtles, rain, sun, birds. the design on
the two tattoo ukuleles is primarily based on waves and sharks teeth,
while the Honu’s design is based on a Hawaiian turtle (honu), a symbol of
longevity and endurance rendered in a Polynesian tattoo style. the fret
markers are stylized sharks teeth. the tattoo Concert is available with or
without an on-board preamp.

Paz Lenchantin is best known for her playing as a member of a Perfect Circle (with Maynard James
Keenan of tool) and in the super-group Zwan (with the smashing Pumpkins’ founder, Billy Corgan). she
is currently a member of the entrance Band. the bass was a collaboration between the artist and Luna’s designers, and the result is a stunning instrument-
both sonically and aesthetically-that is as vibrant to look at as it is to play.

visually and figuratively, the powerful Dragon is the yang counterpart to the Phoenix’s yin. ultra light at just 7 lbs, this Dragon is ready to roar with active J and MM-style pickups.

From ancient egyptian tales to native american lore to the mysterious legends of arabia, the phoenix has soared through many cultures and times. Depicted as a magnificent giant bird that rises from the ashes of its own pyre to live again, the phoenix’s alluring song was said to mesmerize even the great god apollo. a symbol of rebirth, the phoenix represents beauty, power, vision and inspiration.
