At Luna Guitars, our mission is to create finely-crafted stringed instruments with artistic sensibility that are comfortable, affordable, and inspire people of all ages and walks of life on their musical journey.

Luna is the creation of visionary Yvonne de Villiers, an accomplished stained-glass artist from Florida. Yvonne's inspiration for a line of guitars designed to maximize playing comfort came from her mother, Hilda Williers, an electric bass player for more than 40 years.

Yvonne's vision is to create instruments for diverse players, instruments uniquely tailored to fit their bodies, their hands, and their musical styles. With that diversity in mind, Yvonne created comfortable instruments made for musicians of all ages and crafted with a luminous visual beauty. Yvonne's 25-year career producing award-winning architectural stained glass ("sculpting light") enabled her to bring to life the exquisitely delicate inlaid designs and unique ornamentation that make Luna Guitars so visually stunning.

Luna Announces Ukulele Line

Luna's new ukuleles combine the best of traditional profiles and wood selection with fresh new designs to suit the unique players that are making the ukulele their own. The Tattoo and Hona series utilize traditional Polynesian body ornamentation while the Floral and Dolphin Ukes are little sisters to Luna's beloved Flora and Fauna guitars.

The Pineapple and Soprano Ukes take their design from traditional hawaiian body ornamentation - monochromatic, tattooed in black against brown. The Pineapple Tatoo design is based on waves and sharks teeth, which are also echoed as fret markers. The Honu Soprano is based on a stylized Hawaiian turtle, rendered in a Polynesian tattoo style. Fret markers on this instrument are also shark's teeth.

The Dolphin Concert uke features a trinity of inlaid abalone and mother-of-pearl dolphins that swim around the soundhole against trans azure over flame maple waves. The Floral Concert uke has a spray of Hibiscus and Plumeria around the soundhole inlaid on a trans purple over flame maple body. The High Tide Concert and Tenor ukes aptly take their inspiration from the full moon.
