Luna Guitars Expands Wabi Sabi Series

Luna Guitars Expands Wabi Sabi Series

Luna Guitars is pleased to announce the addition of the folk sized body shape acoustic guitar to the popular Wabi Sabi Series. The guitar features a folk body style (in-between a parlor and grand concert) a solid spruce top, and Luna SL3 preamp with tuner and built-in EQ.


Commonly depicted using Japanese aesthetics, Wabi Sabi is a world view that embraces imperfection and appreciates beauty that is incomplete in nature. Like the philosophy, the Wabi Sabi Series is for players looking to improve their playing abilities and perfect their craft without worrying about errors.

The Luna Wabi Sabi Folk Acoustic-Electric guitar features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides with black binding, a mahogany "C"-shape neck with a 20-fret 15"-radius laurel fretboard and a Bone 1 11/16"-nut. In addition, it has a satin natural finish, a "Zen Brushstroke" rosette, pau ferro bridge, sealed die-cast chrome tuners, dual-action truss rod and D'Addario EXP16 (.012-.053) coated strings.

Wabi Sabi Folk Solid Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar

"It features a solid spruce top, which is a favorite among many traditional guitarists and allows players of all skill levels to hear strong acoustic tones with crisp projection."

The Luna Wabi Sabi Folk A/E – Solid Top sells for $299.00 at authorized Luna Guitars dealers. For more information, go to www.lunaguitars.com.

In challenging times, sometimes elemental music, like the late Jessie Mae Hemphill’s raucous Mississippi hill country blues, is the best salve. It reminds us of what’s truly essential––musically, culturally, and emotionally. And provides a restorative and safe place, where we can open up, listen, and experience without judgement. And smile.

This legendary vintage rack unit will inspire you to think about effects with a new perspective.

When guitarists think of effects, we usually jump straight to stompboxes—they’re part of the culture! And besides, footswitches have real benefits when your hands are otherwise occupied. But real-time toggling isn’t always important. In the recording studio, where we’re often crafting sounds for each section of a song individually, there’s little reason to avoid rack gear and its possibilities. Enter the iconic Eventide H3000 (and its massive creative potential).

Valerie June’s songs, thanks to her distinctive vocal timbre and phrasing, and the cosmology of her lyrics, are part of her desire to ā€œco-create a beautiful lifeā€ with the world at large.

The world-traveling cosmic roots rocker calls herself a homebody, but her open-hearted singing and songwriting––in rich display on her new album Owls, Omens, and Oracles––welcomes and embraces inspiration from everything … including the muskrat in her yard.

I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun in an interview as I did speaking with roots-rock artist Valerie June about her new release, Owls, Omens, and Oracles. At the end of our conversation, after going over schedule by about 15 minutes, her publicist curbed us with a gentle reminder. In fairness, maybe we did spend a bit too much time talking about non-musical things, such as Seinfeld, spirituality, and the fauna around her home in Humboldt, Tennessee.
