Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar w/ Gig Bag - Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having tried most of the 3/4 size acoustic steel-string guitars, since I was looking for a short scale instrument that travels easily but mainly offers less tension on the strings (a benefit of shorter scale), the Luna Safari Muse seems by far the best deal. Yes the Taylor Baby (that costs twice as much) IS a little better sounding with a stronger bass, and sports a little more classy-cal finish, but I think the Luna is far better than the small XL Martins, not to speak of the Martin backpacker and a few others I tried. The instrument came well set up for average taste (a bit high but safe), with decent strings. I plan to lower the action a little at both the nut and bridge, and use lighter strings yet. The neck is straight and has a truss rod. Looks nice, feels fine, the frets are A-OK, the design is original, with an interesting edging in place of binding, and the satin finish is pleasing. I looked at 3 and none was a lemon. It seems it's wood unlike the "textured HPL" they use on the Martins (composite overlaid with photo of wood), though it's not all raw timber. The top seems layered and the bridge seems like a softer wood that is stained dark, but the vibration is transferred just fine. They use clever design to give you a decent acoustic guitar at under 150 bucks, nothing else like it at that price. The greatest weakness is perhaps its low mid range resonant peak. You can most notice it if you fret the D string at the octave, meaning you will hit a bit of that boxy "ukulele" tone at times. It's what some people object to in all the small-body guitars. Something like the Backpacker is all "ukulele" midrange. The truth is that the physics are inescapable, the trick is to squeeze a decent treble and bass out of the instrument anyway, and the Luna Safari does. Also that particular peak is part of the specific personality of the instrument. They accessorize with an allen wrench for the truss rod and an unpadded canvas bag that's pretty minimal.
