Take Flight with the Moonbird
Here at Sweetwater, we're over the moon with the Luna Moonbird acoustic-electric guitar — let alone its enticing 12-string replica! This delightful instrument boasts the warm and full tones of its mahogany laminate top, back, and sides while fully embracing chorused, rich sonics via a 12-string architecture. Its amplified body shape also features a stylish cutaway for accessing all the frets and an X-brace that keeps the mahogany top strong and resonant throughout its life. Fluid playability continues down the mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, keeping your hand comfortable during barred chords or fun solos. A built-in Luna Double Y9 SFT preamp with Bluetooth, a rechargeable battery, and built-in chorus, reverb and delay effects keeps you ready to play any plugged-in gig with confidence.
Hear the Moonbird sing in mahogany harmony
Luna’s Moonbird series was inspired by the harmony between the moon and the stars — symbolized by the moonbird’s flight in the night sky. The Moonbird acoustic-electric guitar exemplifies this series’ inspiration with its excellent mahogany tonewood recipe and the moonbird flight on the headstock. The sounds of mahogany give the Moonbird a rich tonal heart that is ready for any acoustic style you can throw at it. The Eastern mahogany neck with a comfortable C profile fits comfortably in the hands of guitar pros and beginners alike. Meanwhile, the 15-inch radius on the rosewood fingerboard contributes further to this guitar’s charming playability. A pearl moon phase inlay on the fingerboard is delightfully offset by the darkness of the rosewood fingerboard and an excellent complement to the moonbird inlay on the headstock. Lastly, open-gear chrome tuners, a bone nut, and plastic bridge pins finish this Luna guitar off with superb intonation and tone throughout.
Plug into onboard Luna sonics
Craving tone? The Luna Moonbird GC 12-string comes packed with a Luna Double Y9 SFT preamp and piezo pickup for rich acoustic projection in any playing situation. The secret is a complex set of onboard sonic controls, including a bundle of onboard chorus, reverb, and delay effects to take any summoned tone to exclusive new heights. Taking into account that the active preamp remains rechargeable solely by an onboard USB-C connection, you'll be well equipped to handle any playing situation wherever and whenever the opportunity strikes.
