No, not as fine as the Baby Taylor, but worth considerably more than I paid. This is in the same price range as the Yamaha, and it absolutely blows the Yamaha out of the water in both the quality of its make and the sound! 100% happy that I purchased this guitar.

I just received this guitar today and have the following comments on it. Keep in mind that this is a $139 3/4 size guitar. The overall quality looks very good. Nice straight neck, satin finish great all over, inside nice and clean, no glue, tuners are average, the action is a little high, the strings suck. The only negative is that the frets are not dressed well and has sharp edges all the way up neck... A pet peeve of mine. I hate to buy a new guitar and get one with sharp frets. Will take a file to them for sure. Sound is above average for this small size guitar. Has good sustain. Feels good in the hand. I have had both the Baby Taylor and Little Martin and they all compare in size with this guitar. Both of these guitars cost twice that of this guitar. This Luna is lightweight like the Taylor. I think that the Baby Taylor is a better sounding guitar.. but only slightly. This guitar has a 1-13/16" nut which I like. The Luna gigbag is cheap and I think will provide almost no protection. I guess Luna has to cut corners somewhere. This will be a perfect guitar for noodling around the house, sitting on the sofa, campfire, etc. Overall rating is 4/5 and would have been 5/5 if frets were better. If you are looking for a smaller guitar check this one out for sure. I think the value on this guitar should be closer to the $200-$250 range so $139 to me is a real deal.Best Deals for Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar w/ Gig Bag - Mahogany
I just recently purchased the Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar from amazon.com. The guitar arrived in perfect condition. The factory carton was packed in a ginormous box with plenty of packing material around it. Initially the guitar tuning was not stable but after a couple of days of being in my house the tuning stabilized to be rock solid. The action is perfect to me, not too high, not too low. The scale is sufficiently long enough so that I don't notice a difference moving back and forth between in and my full size dreadnaught. The workmanship is very good. The frets are finished nicely and the body has a nice satin finish. The guitar is plenty small enough to make travel easy but large enough to play normally like any full size guitar. The gig bag, while not padded, is reasonably well made and will be fine for car traveling. For airline travel I would invest in a padded gig bag. Not only will I used this guitar for travel I will also use it when jamming with friends when I want to add some unique tones. I found that using when using a capo fairly high on the neck you get some really neat mandolin-like tones.Honest reviews on Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar w/ Gig Bag - Mahogany
hi i'm a teacher and i have tendonitis in my elbows... i gave up guitar a few years ago due to pain.however, i've often thought about maybe someday purchasing a light hiking guitar which would be less heavy/tough on my elbows. so i was just looking around...
i found this and thought i'd try it... took the risk. so worth it.
oh my! i'm playing guitar again, a LOT! when i carry it over my shoulders/back, it is so LIGHT that i barely know i have it it does not hurt my elbows when i put it in the car or take it out... nor when i play...
and the sound quality is beautiful! and it doesn't lose its tune more than a normal guitar with new strings.
i LOVE this guitar! it has brought music back into my everyday life, helped me make learning fun for my students, and i'm so grateful.
blessings to you!

I received this well over a week ago. I have been playing it every day since. The strings that came on it sounded fine to me, but I threw on some extra heavy DR Black Beauty acoustics. The little guitar really does sound nice! The DR coated strings really feel great on the fingers. The action at the nut is a little high. I like to grab open F chords, and that can be difficult with the action so high.... I adjusted the truss rod all the way to where the action is at it's lowest, and it's still a little high. I think a little lowering at the nut will make it perfect! I'm not upset about that because it's a good deal for the money. It does sound a little "tinny", or "boxy"? at times, but to me it adds to the appeal. I like the sound of it. I did notice that it's very easy to deaden the tone of the guitar just by having the back of the body against your stomach. Strum a chord and touch the back to your stomach. You will hear a definite muting effect. However, this can be used to change the tonality of songs during playing if done correctly. I didn't notice rough edges on the frets, but there was a coating of some sort on them that was a little rough... It seemed like corrosion, but I couldn't tell. I just used a tiny wedge of balled up aluminum foil to polish the tops of them when I changed strings, and they are smooth as butter now.I'm not too concerned about appearance. However, this little guitar looks great. I like how it's understated and simple looking. It's sound hole design is simple and pretty. No flashiness on this guitar, which is the way I like it.
Yep, the gig bag is kinda flimsy, so I got a more padded one for traveling. No big deal. The one it comes with is good enough for dragging it around in normal situations though, and it fits right into the padded one I have, so if need be, I can use both.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better deal. And, like others have said..... This is the guitar I play all the time now. It's just too easy to carry around, and fits well in the lap for noodling and relaxing, even in an armchair. Intonation is spot on, as I tested it with a Snark clip-on tuner. I was hoping for a bit slimmer of a neck, especially at the nut (even though I have big hands), but I am not altogether put off by it. It still fits my hand well.Snark SN-1 Tuner World Tour Acoustic Guitar Padded Gig Bag for 3/4 Size Guitar
