Luna Safari Starry Night Travel Guitar

Full Description

Wide-reaching tone

Capture the exact sound you need. The Safari Starry Night's carefully selected tonewood construction offers the player a rich, diverse tonal palette to suit any style. You'll enjoy crisp articulation and a broad dynamic range courtesy of a select spruce top. This amazingly versatile tonewood can easily accommodate any playing style you can think of, from aggressive strumming to delicate fingerpicking. Each note you play will be delivered with sharpness and definition.

The denser mahogany wood that makes up the Starry Night's back and sides adds warmth and depth to your tone. This gives the guitar a full bass sound when playing notes and chords at the low-end. Furthermore, it adds excellent projection and volume, making it ideal for acoustic performance.

Excellent playability

A guitar that you'll never want to stop playing. Luna have made every effort to ensure that the Starry Night 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 Starry Night'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.

Distinctive, Van Gogh-inspired design

A guitar that really stands out from the crowd. The Luna Starry Night is finished with a stunning artistic design feature of Vincent Van Gogh's famous painting, The Starry Night. This elegant, eye-catching design means that anyone who sees you with this guitar will be sure to be envious of its stunning style. The Dutch painter's instantly recognisable image adorned across the instrument's body ensures that this guitar is a work of art in its own right.

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.
