DISC Luna Henna Oasis Electro Acoustic Guitar, Cedar

Full Description

Solid Cedar Top & Mahogany Body

The Luna Henna Oasis features a solid cedar top which delivers a rich, smooth, and warm tonal character. Its solid cedar top is highly responsive to light playing and fingerpicking techniques, as well as responding with volume to a player's softer attack. Its sonically pleasing solid top is coupled with mahogany back and sides, which produce a resonance, a great punchy sound and a woody tonal character that offers definition and a rich dark warmth. This sonically pleasing combination of tonewoods can accommodate numerous different genres, but is particularly well-suited to fingerpicking styles and folk-inspired genres.

Mahogany Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

Constructed from mahogany, the Henna Oasis'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 abalone moon phase inlays for added elegance.

Folk Body Shape & Venetian Cutaway

The Henna Oasis 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. With a solid cedar top and folk body, the Henna Oasis is perfect for fingerpicking players. The Henna Oasis's 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 Henna Oasis also features a Venetian cutaway design, which is renowned for its smooth, soft, and sleek lines that promote the access to upper fingerboard shredding. The 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.

Equipped With Fishman Isys+ Preamp

The Henna Oasis comes equipped with a Fishman Isys+ preamp, which provides amplified acoustic sound for live and rehearsal environments. Simply plug-in to an amp or P.A system and listen to your acoustic's natural tonal character come alive through this sophisticated and compact system. The preamp features rotary controls for bass, treble, and volume, as well as a phase button, and the added convenience of a built-in tuner.

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.
