Luna Guitars Muse Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar  

Good Quality, well thought out product.  Good materials and construction.  As always, with less expensive products, there can be minor problems one must solve.  In this instance, the cable connecting the pick-up to the preamp fell out after a few sessions--it was not connected right and could never be, with the original connectors.  The preamp had to be removed and then its back removed to plug in the pickup cable. A weird plastic retainer had to be discarded for the cable to fit. I did this, but it would present no problem for a technician, or for the mechanically inclined.  The instrument is attractive, the preamp and tuner work well, good tuning pegs, reasonable set up.  The amplified volume is even across the four strings.  The neck was good--one minor buzz on the g string, 12th fret, that was easily filed.  For those attempting this type of fret repair, go SLOWLY, because you can't go back, and the fret metal removes quickly.      This said, a good quality instrument, and a good value.

I was fortunate to purchase mine on a "Scratch N Dent" sale (a tiny little nick at the top of the headstock - THANK YOU  Musician's Friend) but the SOUND and the setup on this Luna Muse was quite impressive. It came out of the box with a nice playability and setup and sounds really, really nice, both acoustically and amplified. Beautiful visuals and mother-of-pearl inlays makes this a very attractive instrument, with a beautiful sound. I compared this to others and this is a really nice value comparing the features for the price point.
