It still looks like a pretty nice nylon string guitar. It looks a lot like a Manuel Rodriguez classical I used to have, and that was a very nice guitar!
so i'm thinking of getting this...
i'd love to have a classical and i can get this one from Luna Guitars with my artist/endorsement deal... what say ye?!?!?!

Cutaways on nylon-strings are a deal-breaker for me.
Ditto for the nut width.
That, and I find the instrument kinda unattractive, anyway.
I have never spent much time with a nylon string, but thats a beaut.

It's a classical designed for non-classical players. The usual 2" nut would drive most non-classical players nutso.Originally Posted by Flamencology
My last custom acoustic (steel string) had a wider than usual neck for fingerstyle playing, but not classical width...

I'm a big believer in putting in the extra work.
On the bright side - free is free.....
Yet another friend of Jack...
Is it free? If so, then absolutely. Why not?
Nope.

Actually, I'm not a fan of cutaways on steel string acoustics, either....

I'd exempt gypsy jazz guitars and archtops, but I'm in general agreement with you.
Though I'd really like a Lowden.
Well there are certainly worse character traits to have. :biggrin:Principle.

You know, to take this further into the land of the highly opinionated...
I can't think of more than a handful of guitar players who aren't associated with nylon-strings but still manage to get a great sound out of them.
I look at the gypsy jazz guitars and archtops as a different species....

Denverdave - i definitely don't get them free, just at a really good discounted price...
Nice!..but yes, leave the henna out.
Only problem is the non-Henna models have spruce tops, not Cedar. I don't mind the henna design myself, but if there was another option I'd probably go that route.
I have always wanted to scribble on one of my guitar tops though... I have a friend who has on one of his satin finished ones and I've always liked that look for more hippie-folk type of music.
That guitar would look great on a Reba McEntire, or someone similar.i actually like this one myself... just without the henna design...

That said, are you repping some kind of wiccan chick guitar company? I think you might be. This one even has the name of a douche manufacturer embedded in the model name: the Midsummer Night's Eve.

Actually this is kind of an interesting group of people who are Luna guitars featured artists. That guy, Marty Casey, from RockStar INXS is in there, as is some guitarist for Kid Rock. Interesting.
They should put your picture up. You're a good looking guy, and they seem to need more guys.
i'll sell you my LaPatrie Etude.

Well, the concept is to make artsy guitars for people with smaller hands... Which I have.That guitar would look great on a Reba McEntire, or someone similar.

you have bigger hands than i do!
That makes sense. I just find the website kind of amusing. It's really unlike most guitar manufacturer websites.
Are you going to get to meet Yvonne de Villiers? She seems pretty tasty.
Hahaha... She is pretty. We email back and forth, but I haven't met her yet. She seems very nice and supportive to artistsThat makes sense. I just find the website kind of amusing. It's really unlike most guitar manufacturer websites.

I am glad to see Luna getting some love from someone besides me ...
They are nice sounding guitars.

I'm chicken soupDon't let this get out, but I think I'd prefer the garish Ibanez over this Strat.
Nylon or Steel sting?
I used to own a Lowden O-10 (cedar/mahagony) non-cutaway steel string. I adored that guitar, but had to sell it to finish paying for my last custom acoustic I bought. George (Lowden) makes wonderful guitars. I've been looking for another O-10 to purchase, but the prices on the few for sale have gone through the roof.
Yet another friend of Jack...
Steel-string.
My classical is a David Rubio, so I'm pretty much set in that dept.
If it's good enough for micwalt, then it's good enough for me!!!
I thought he was talking about the hippie guitar manufacturer/stained glass artist.
you'll sell it inside of a week.
Maybe both! :biggrin:
Yet another friend of Jack...
Grrrr...
you know i'm right.
Yep. This.
THIS is the guitar that this forum needs you to get.

I loved my Luna Muse 6-string. Sadly, all their 12-strings have electronics and cutaways, which are deal-breakers for me. Nice company, though.
Questions:
1. Was said guitar every acquired?
2. If answer to #1 was yes, how long did it stay in the family?
That was minePrages purple Luna played decently. Quilt top, too, Prages thinks that guitar is an abomination because of the looks.
I ate your danged habenaro now get off my back
Well.....That was mine
It did play Purple Rain pretty well though.
