DISC Luna Oracle Dragonfly Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar

Full Description

Solid Spruce Top & Mahogany Body

The Luna Oracle Dragonfly features a solid spruce top that delivers a broad dynamic range and yields crisp articulation. Spruce is commonly used to craft guitar tops, as the wood generates a versatile tonal character that can accommodate numerous genres with ease. Its brightly toned spruce top is coupled with mahogany back and sides, which delivers a meaty mid-range, a rich resonant, dark warmth, with a complexity that can please most playing styles.

Mahogany Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

Constructed from mahogany, the Oracle Dragonfly's neck produces plenty of resonance as well as providing a stable, and durable playing experience. Mahogany is commonly used to build guitar necks, as the wood responds greatly many different styles of play and will accommodate numerous techniques with ease. To provide a comfortable playing experience, the neck features a C shaped profile, offering players with a better grip for long hours of comfortable play. Its neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that produces a warm, bright, sizzling-sparkle that really shines through when using fingerpicking techniques. Its rosewood fingerboard also provides a smooth and energetic play, and is sprinkled with Luna's exclusive pearl moon phase inlays for added elegance.

Folk Body Shape & Venetian Cutaway

The Oracle Dragonfly has a folk body shape, which provides a comfortable playing experience and offers good projection and volume. Its folk body is particularly well-suited to fingerpicking styles and folk-inspired genres. The folk body produces a well-balanced tone and is ideal for those who find bigger bodied guitars just too much to handle. In addition, the Oracle Dragonfly also features a Venetian cutaway design, which is renowned for its smooth, soft, and sleek lines that promote the access to upper fingerboard shredding. Its Venetian cutaway provides players with full freedom up and down the fingerboard and enables easy access to upper frets, allowing players to achieve more challenging chords with ease.

B-Band T35 Preamp

The Luna Oracle Dragonfly comes equipped with a built-in B-Band preamp, which provides basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal environments. The on-board preamp features rotary controls for bass, middle, treble, and volume, as well as providing a phase button for the prevention of undesired feedback. In addition to its great features, the T35 preamp also has a built-in chromatic tuner with an easy-readable, brightly-lit screen for easing tuning in the darkest of venues.

Luna History

Yvonne Villiers is an accomplished stained-glass artist who envisioned Luna guitars. Her inspiration for a line of guitars designed to maximise playing comfort came from her mother, Hilda Villiers, a bassist for over 40 years. Whilst watching her mum on stage, Yvonne couldn't help but notice the massive struggle her mum had whilst playing. With her mum being petite and using such a heavy instrument, she used to complain of how hard it was to be a woman and try to play these big bass guitars.

Yvonne then questioned if there were others like her mum that struggled with the same problems and pains. She came up with the idea of a woman specific guitar, uniquely tailored to fit their bodies, their hands, and their musical styles. Yvonne moved on to created Luna guitars, a line of guitars made for female musicians of all ages and crafted with luminous visual beauty to engage women's minds and spirits along with their talent.

Yvonne already had brilliant artistic skills and use of colour, she then applied the same techniques as she did with her award winning stained glass work to her new line of guitars. She is known for using rich colours that shimmer and shine with every movement providing an eye-catching design along with the great musical tones Luna guitars deliver. Yvonne's design expertise has led so many men to respond to Luna's well-crafted, spirit-engaging instruments that the company now creates guitars for both female and male musicians of all ages.
