Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar w/ Gig Bag - Mahogany

This guitar is PERFECT for what I needed. I'm a music teacher who has suddenly found herself on the "cart" and I wanted an affordable, lovely sounding, easy to play travel guitar...and that's exactly what this is! I tried out the Baby Taylor, the Little Martin...both kinds, the Martin Backpacker, the Little Brat, and the Yamaha. I really love the Baby Taylor, but at that price, I just didn't feel comfortable leaving in the storage at work or letting the kids touch it so I took a chance and bought the Luna Muse sight unseen. I'm so thrilled! The sound is very similar to the Little Brat, though I personally think the highs on the Luna are more pleasant than the Brat. The action is a touch high, but is easily adjustable. The guitar is also smaller than the Brat which has a considerably thicker body. The guitar is beautiful looking and cleanly made. I don't know what the previous reviewer is saying about the frets on the neck...mine are perfectly smooth...it was the first thing I...Read more

I just received this guitar today and have the following comments on it. Keep in mind that this is a $139 3/4 size guitar. The overall quality looks very good. Nice straight neck, satin finish great all over, inside nice and clean, no glue, tuners are average, the action is a little high, the strings suck. The only negative is that the frets are not dressed well and has sharp edges all the way up neck... A pet peeve of mine. I hate to buy a new guitar and get one with sharp frets. Will take a file to them for sure. Sound is above average for this small size guitar. Has good sustain. Feels good in the hand. I have had both the Baby Taylor and Little Martin and they all compare in size with this guitar. Both of these guitars cost twice that of this guitar. This Luna is lightweight like the Taylor. I think that the Baby Taylor is a better sounding guitar.. but only slightly. This guitar has a 1-13/16" nut which I like. The Luna gigbag is cheap and I think will provide almost...Read more

I received this well over a week ago. I have been playing it every day since. The strings that came on it sounded fine to me, but I threw on some extra heavy DR Black Beauty acoustics. The little guitar really does sound nice! The DR coated strings really feel great on the fingers. The action at the nut is a little high. I like to grab open F chords, and that can be difficult with the action so high.... I adjusted the truss rod all the way to where the action is at it's lowest, and it's still a little high. I think a little lowering at the nut will make it perfect! I'm not upset about that because it's a good deal for the money. It does sound a little "tinny", or "boxy"? at times, but to me it adds to the appeal. I like the sound of it. I did notice that it's very easy to deaden the tone of the guitar just by having the back of the body against your stomach. Strum a chord and touch the back to your stomach. You will hear a definite muting effect. However, this can be used to change...Read more
