Luna Muse Parlor Bubinga Acoustic Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own two of these wonderful solid-wood guitars and I think it's one of the best instruments out there for the costs and quality of materials. The Luna Muse Bubinga is a great small-size professional quality guitar.

It's hard to find a solid-wood (no fillers, no fake woods) guitar that still are hand-made as well. The sound is crisp and clean and surprisingly voices a nice full sound -- i.e. it sounds much bigger than its compact size. It's a great travel guitar and has electronics as well for when you need to plug it in. It makes a perfect starter guitar for young students but I've enjoyed it as well as a 20 year guitar player.

A quick internet search for good travel or starter guitars shows that this is one of the best buys out there and it's almost impossible to find a comparable guitar (low price and solid wood). You won't be disappointed if you get one of these!

Product Description:
The Luna Muse Parlor Acoustic-Electric guitar is the refreshing modern-day descendant of a family of small-bodied instruments that date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In a time when guitars provided accompaniment for singers entertaining family and friends in intimate settings, the parlor guitar was valued for its comfortable size and full sound. The Muse Parlor capably demonstrates that a petite guitar can deliver superb tones! For this distinctive instrument, Luna has combined a select spruce top with exotic African bubinga wood sides and back. The result is a marvelously melodic guitar that comfortably fits nearly any lap. Other feature highlights include the inlaid abalone crescent moon logo on the headstock, exclusive moon phase fretboard markers inlaid in abalone, the Luna rosewood bridge, and the built-in Orion 4-band preamp with tuner.

Dean Performer Arch-Top Mini Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Guitar Vintage Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I was in the market to buy a new guitar I knew i would not want a pre-owned guitar. most times when you buy something that was pre-owned you get the full package. meaning you get the good with the bad. So like all of my purchaces I make sure i select (New) the day I purchaced my New guitar, A Dean Performer/VS color Black. I was pretty excited. This would be my 7th guitar. but my first eletric/acoustic model. I had 2 eletrics before one bass and one standard. both fenders. I enjoy the sound of the steal string acoustic much more though. Well I waited for the arival of the Guitar. Soon as it arived I rushed to the UPS store, to pick it up. I returned to my barracks room and opend the box. at first i was thrown off because it was not the style I had orderd. I had orderd the Black Model, it was the red amber model. no biggie i can deal with that. well it did not take long to tune the guitar. every thing seemed to be ok. I gave the guitar a slight look over. and tested all the strings. then i tested fret by fret. strings 2-6 played beautifuly. however the 1st string (E) played good until the 7th fret. then it would not play a note until the 16th fret. this caused quiet an upset. I checked the bridge and the nut. bothe seemed to be fine. the problem was in the neck. and along the fret bars. as i futher examind the guitar i could see fadeing in the color. even slight cracks and filled in Chips the guitar had been pre-owned and referbished. The store I purchased it through on Amazon not only faild to send me the right color guitar but a used guitar. You have a choice when purchacing an item on amazon. you see the option when you are placing it in your cart. one line reads buy (NEW) the other line reads (Used and New) i clearly selected the New for the larger price. I have tried to contact the seller over this issue and I am now trying to contact the Dean store in florida. I am hoping i can get a fresh repair or the new guitar I origanly orderd. I hope that this does not sway you from amazon. I have only good things to say about this website. but i have not so good things to say about the seller.
David.

The Taylor 100 Series
Tone and playability are hallmarks of Taylor guitars, and you'll find the 100 Series delivers plenty of each. Sporting a solid Sitka spruce top and sapele laminate back and sides, the redesigned 100 Series now features both Dreadnought and Grand Auditorium shapes, along with cutaway and Taylor electronics options. Value, yes. Compromise, no.
Sitka Spruce Top
Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) grows in a coastal "pocket" from Northern California to Alaska. This dense, straight-grained wood has the highest strength and elasticity-to-weight ratio among available tonewoods, an attribute that makes it an ideal material not only for our soundboards, but for our internal bracing, as well. Sitka produces a slightly brighter tone than does Engelmann.
Sapele Laminate Back/Sides
This exceptional, mahogany-like wood grows throughout the tropical rain forests of Nigeria and the Ivory Coast of Africa. Ever since we introduced it in 1998, its legion of fans has grown exponentially. As a tonewood, it's denser and harder than mahogany, so it has a crisper, clearer, brighter, "pop"-ier sound than its more familiar counterpart. Loud and robust, with a lovely ribboned grain, sapele has been used by Spanish guitar makers for many years.
Varnish Finish
A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a smooth feel to the touch. The spruce top's beauty shines right through.
Dreadnought Body Shape
The original Dreadnought acoustic guitar appeared early in the 20th Century, and its no-frills, no-nonsense shape made it a logical namesake of the huge battleships of that day. Most subsequent Dreadnoughts, including Taylor's, have been derivative of that early design. In 1997, however, Bob Taylor re-designed the Taylor Dreadnought by softening the curves at the top and bottom and generally refining its overall shape. In 2003, gloss-finish Dreadnoughts also underwent bracing refinements that substantially increased their overall volume and bass response, without sacrificing Taylor's signature balance and clarity. Dreadnought six-strings shine as "plectrum" or "rhythm" guitars because they respond well to flatpicking or light-to-heavy strumming.
ES-T Pickup
Inspired by Taylor's Expression System technology, the Expression System Transducer, or ES-T, is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. (The ES-T was originally called the ES Element, but the name was changed to avoid confusion with another product.) The ES-T has an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full Expression System. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.
Chrome-Plate Tuners
Taylor Tuners continue the industry-leading 18:1 gear ratio that they've been using, yet yield even greater precision with the help of a manufacturing process that employs the same gear-cutting machines used by Swiss watchmakers. The more precisely-machined gears virtually eliminate the slight "slop", or slack, typical among tuners, which makes it even easier for Taylor owners to get--and stay--in tune. Taylor Tuners also feature an elegant aesthetic touch, with the Taylor logo cleanly etched on the back.
