Vicki Genfan signature
“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that
grows flowers, not thunder.”
Every now and then, an artist comes along whose
music reaches out and touches the soul of all who
hears it. Virtuoso guitarist, singer and composer
Vicki Genfan is among those artists.
Using 31 alternate tunings and the percussive
technique she calls ‘slap-tap’, Vicki has been
recognized among the world’s greatest guitarists.
Vicki Genfan started out playing the Muse 12-string
and Luna Artist Trinity, but had longed for a
Henna guitar of her dreams – with
all the bells and whistles that
her particular type of playing
requires. To that end, Luna
worked with master luthier
Gray Burchette to build the
ultimate Luna Guitar.
Based on Vicki’s dream Luna,
we are proud to offer the Vicki
Genfan Signature Acoustic.
Featuring a solid spruce top
laser etched with the same
“OM” design that graces her
own guitar, and rosewood
sides and back, this guitar
delivers acoustically. When
plugged in, the B-Band®
preamp provides stage-
worthy amplification.

Luna’s Tattoo series ukuleles take their design from traditional Hawaiian body ornamentation. The designs were
monochromatic, tattooed in black against brown skin. The patterns and layout were strongly geometric, and there
were many shapes and symbols which represented the natural island world – stones, waves, fish, sharks, turtles, rain,
sun, birds, et cetera. The design is primarily based on waves and shark's teeth – which are also echoed as fret markers.

below it to “rise” as they make their way up the fretboard, towards the moon’s pull. High Tide ukes are crafted from luthier-grade
select koa, ovangkol and zebrawood, and the Luna “full moon” sticker inside the sound hole is framed by an abalone ring.

Introducing Luna's Exotic series ukes! These three tropical wood jewels invoke balmy tropical nights,
with a crescent moon shape sound hole, and Luna's signature moon phase fret markers in mother-of-
pearl. Take your pick of three beautiful offerings... olive ash burl, maple burl, or spalt maple.
Luna's ukulele basses are fun to play - for portable performance or practice anywhere! They are 21" short scale
instruments, featuring flatwound strings that are tuned to E-A-D-G like a traditional bass guitar - but one octave up.
We offer our popular High Tide and Tattoo designs – with the addition of a stunning gloss black model with maple
rosette and binding, with sharks teeth fret markers. All basses come equipped with Luna preamps – although,
unlike bass ukes with nylon strings, our flatwound strings offer a robust acoustic sound even without amplification.
Whether you are a full-size bass player looking to practice on your lunch hour – or a ukulele player looking for a
new challenge in the territory of lower pitches and a bass-like approach – Luna's distinctive styling, combined with
affordable prices, make these basses an irresistible addition to your collection.

“"There is a fountain inside you. Don’t walk around with an empty bucket."
Acoustic lap-style guitars first emerged in Hawaii in the 1890s, where players raised the action of their standard guitars, laid them
flat on their laps, and learned to play melodies with a metal bar sliding along the strings. Los Angeles-based luthier Hermann
Weissenborn refined the concept in the 1920s. Electric lap steels were developed in response for the desire for louder volume.
Luna's Weissenborn-style acoustic and electric lap steel offerings feature the same distinctive abalone fret markers as our
High Tide series ukuleles. A full moon at the first fret tugs at the waves that grace the rosewood fingerboards.
