Key Features
Product Ref: 53218
The Safari Dragonfly is crafted from select spruce, a mahogany neck, mahogany back and sides, and rosewood fingerboard. The spruce top delivers a wide, dynamic tonal palette. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright highs. This is balanced out well by the mahogany neck, back and sides, as mahogany is denser and produces a richer tone, with emphasised warmth in the mid and low ranges. Mahogany also contains distinct character of a soft warmth, but is well balanced with a bite of its own. Mahogany is used a lot in the acoustic world, this is because it is relatively economical, durable, attractive, easy to work with, and resonant.
The mahogany neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a warm, bright, and sparkly tone that really shines through when using finger picking techniques. The neck tonewood produces a rich tone that blends beautifully well with the rosewood fingerboard's bright tone. The neck is specially designed by Luna to provide a comfortable playing experience, this ensures that challenging notes and chords are within easy reach. The reason why many guitar necks are made from mahogany is because the wood responds greatly to picking styles, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease. With a natural satin finish, and stunning moon phase fingerboard markers inlaid in mother of pearl to provide pleasing aesthetic.
The Safari Dragonfly is extremely lightweight, and the perfect travel companion. The dreadnought body shape provides big voicing despite its compact size, and projects a well-rounded, well-balanced, classic dreadnought tone.
Each Safari series guitar comes with the Luna Safari Khaki gig bag. It is sturdy, light-weight, and features durable nylon construction with heavy duty padding. The gig bag includes an accessory pouch, comfy carry handle, and shoulder strap. This bag has everything you need to travel with your safari, keep it safe and protected, and have space for your guitar accessories on the go.
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.
