5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Sounds from a Work of Art, November 25, 2007

The Luna Fauna Phoenix Acoustic guitar has rainbow colored abalone inlay galore, from the phoenix design on the body, and the swirl around the sound hole, to the logo on the headstock. It is absolutely beautiful. It is also a great sounding acoustic-electric guitar. It has a very warm, full sound. It is lightweight and easy to play. The pre-amp has a tuner, so it is quite easy and convenient to stay in tune all the time. The hardest thing about this guitar is keeping it out of the hands of the other guitar players in your home--it is quite irresistible! Be sure to order the hard case to protect its beauty--also available from Amazon.

Very, Very sweet looking guitar. Looks very expensive. It has been confused for a graphite composite guitar (priced in the thousands) Most of Luna's guitars have a "girly" appearance to them, this one looks cool with anyone playing it. Out of the triad of guitars I gig with, this is by far the best looking.

But the sound is a slightly different story. I'm not really a stickler for guitar tone, but the pickup and EQ on this guitar is not very good, IMO. It is a VERY twangy sounding guitar. I have to turn up the bass all the way to get any low end out of it at all, and it still sounds kind of tinny. The tuner is nice to have, but it bounces around A LOT. If you're close to on tune, it still goes back and forth from sharp to flat, making it hard to have a tuning that is spot on. I end up using it to get close, then tuning by ear. My Ibanez electric (that I don't even play out with) sounds better plugged in, it has a nicer fishman equipped pickup, and a better tuner, and it's about 100 bucks less.

It is my #2 guitar right now, overall, I recommend it because of the attention-grabbing looks. If this were an uglier guitar, I wouldn't recommend it, most likely. Recommendation: play a guitar before you buy it. I found a 200 dollar Yamaha acoustic that I mounted a Fishman Rare Earth Pickup in, and it outperforms this one, pound for pound. You're paying the mid-level guitar price for the finish.

Overall 7.9-8/10

Pros:

-Looks Awesome
-XLR and 1/4" outputs
-Good tuners
-Low action
-Thin neck

Cons:

-Quiet unplugged (price you pay for the thin body, expected)
-Twangy sound, but still workable
-Tuner is not very good

My son loved his new guitar (it was a present for him) the guitar instructor loved it also. It has a built in electronic tuner plus 2 differnt hook ups for an amp system. It has a very nice tone and is beautiful.
