Looking At The Benefits Of Luna Electric Guitars

By Mick Jones

The characteristic ornamentation make Luna electric guitars stand apart from all the rest. But, they are more than just their attractive features. Lightweight wood construction with easy to use components make them a good choice for all players. Plus, they have a range of prices that can suit any budget. Whether the potential owner is an experienced player or picking up a guitar for the first time this is a brand worth a consideration.

Something that makes all of the Luna models noticeable is the detailed ornamentation. The neck of every guitar they make is adorned with moon phases that act as fret markers. Along with this signature, all models have their own look and style.

Along with the moon phase frets, each Luna model hast it's own sense of style. The Henna line has a pick-guard with henna design laser etched into it. The grill work of classic automobiles is recalled by the nickel tailpieces on the Athena models. And, the small Neo Mini has a large pick-guard that gives the guitar a two tone look.

Wood is the key component to making a guitar. Luna's different electrics are made of light weight woods. This is beneficial to people who want to play for long lengths of time without feeling weighed down. It also helps for young beginners who do not have the strength to hold a heavier instrument.

An instrument's weight is not the only factor that goes into choosing the wood from which it is made. The sound is also important. Lunas are made from mahogany and maple which are very good for creating a tone.

These instruments are also made with the idea of appealing to all players whatever their skill level or physical size. Components are light which makes them easy to hold. Plus, the necks are thinner. This makes it so people with smaller hands do not have trouble reaching certain notes.

One of the more important features of the brand are the prices. As instruments, they are as good as any guitar in the marketplace. However, they can fit into the budget of any player. For professionals with other responsibilities or beginning players, this can be a huge benefit.

Being a guitar player can be an enriching way to live one's life. Playing this instrument can allow for self expression, it helps to find friends and with the right amount of skill it can provide a salary. But, one has to have a good guitar. Luna electric guitars make a good choice for anyone that wants a stylish way to play.

Tips for Selecting the Right Guitar

By Adriana Noton

There's hardly anything more fun than going to the music store and picking out a guitar to take home amongst all those pretty beauties! It's exciting, but it can be overwhelming, and even more than that, it's an important choice that shouldn't be done in haste. You'll be playing this instrument for years to come and you'll require certain things from it. You need to know what you want, how you play, and what to look for in a guitar. Whether you're a beginner or you're more experienced, this guide will set you straight.

If this is your first guitar, there are two appropriate kinds of guitars for you, depending on how keen you are. If you know you want to play for years to come, you can invest more money into a beginner guitar that has a solid sound board, commonly made of cedar or spruce. The sound will improve with age, they normally stay in tune better and the neck isn't as prone to warping. The parts of higher quality and it'll last you longer. Years from now it's a guitar you'll still want to play, and it'll retain its value too. If you're unsure, or you're buying the guitar for your child as an experiment, you can get a good guitar made with a composite plywood soundboard.

Essentially, the piece of wood on the front of your guitar (that determines 90% of your sound) is composed of thin strips of plywood glued together. It won't age the same way because it's not one strip of wood. To be sure, it's not a toy-there are cheap guitars sold in stores that don't sell instruments that must be avoided. They aren't designed to be played, just plucked at by infants. The plywood guitar is a common way to start on guitar, but it's helpful to have some perspective.

If you're buying your second guitar you'll have a better idea of what to look for. Some guitars have sweet action that's easy to play and doesn't buzz. You'll know how the guitar should feel in your hand. You might prefer a thick, round neck to a thin one. If you play folk on an acoustic you'll know to buy a guitar with a tapered body and a thin neck. Folk players find this style gives them the desired sound and the shape makes it easier to finger-pick. If you play blues, do you want an old-school, mellow sound or a grimy, rugged electric sound? Choose between an arch-top and a solid-body electric.

The important thing to consider is that you'll invest more money into your next guitars (or else stick with your first), and as you do this the sound and feel generally becomes more specific and a little less versatile. That's why pro musicians have so many guitars (and because they can!). Consider what music you like playing most, and get the instrument that best suits it. The other approach is to buy a high quality dreadnought acoustic or wicked solid body-nobody will complain about the sound
