The triumphant spirit of the phoenix is perfectly captured in Luna’s Phoenix acoustic/electric guitar. The soaring inlaid bird in abalone is stunning against the black lacquer-look finish of this cutaway folk style instrument. Constructed of select spruce and mahogany, the guitar delivers a sound that’s as rich and freeing as the creature that inspired the design. The Phoenix model is equipped with Luna’s 4-band preamp that features a built-in tuner. A distinctive guitar for the player who celebrates the timeless joy of music.

Feature:
Everything you need, nothing more.
Quality:
Seems to be made to a quality level more than commensurate with its mid to low price tag.
Value:
You get much more than your money’s worth.It is a damn bargain at this price!
Desirability:
Functional, like a classic denim shirt or a BMW 3 Series. Looks great in an everyday kind of way. Good looks, but not sexy. Personally, I like it better this way. Maryanne over Ginger.
Sound:
Sweet, clear, accurate. Gets better with time and play.
Ease of Use:
Easy to play.
Support:
Never had to as of this date.
Overall:
Great guitar. I will buy another, probably the classical version.

Structurally sound, the EF360 Glenn Frey model is packed with the immediately recognizable tone he used on many Eagles Albums and tours.

Feature:
The solid top is what makes this guitar!
Quality:
Only the electronics drags the rate down. If electronics are not needed it could be a 9 in it’s price range. I bought a blem and it doesn’t show it anywhere. I saved a few bucks and got a nice guitar period!
Value:
In this price range? Can’t be beat! Great sound! easy play! I plan on putting new strings on it when it arrived. Per the reviews I’ve read. But it sounds good right from the start. I think a good set of strings will do nothing but improve the already good sound.
Desirability:
Looks don’t mean a thing if the sound is crappy.
Sound:
Nice sound for the price, great starter guitar. It could have better electronics to pump up all the sounds. An equalizer would do it justice.
Ease of Use:
You have to be close to the amp controls to get the sound right, the only down fall of this guitar. If played with out an amp, this guitar is very nice. Because of the electronics I rated it a 5 it deserves to be more. the quality is there.
Support:
Yes, I have an electric guitar by Epi. replaced the control knobs. They sent a whole set out FREE! One knob was cracked and in my book replaced!
Overall:
I plan to get some learning time on this and then go to a higher priced model. Maybe another Epi.

Ovation has applied 40 years of guitar making to design an affordable guitar that doesn’t sound like an affordable guitar. The Celebrity Deluxe is proof of that. This guitar boasts bigger sound than guitars that cost twice as much. In a large part that’s due to the Lyrachord body — the same USA body found on it’s upscale Ovation brothers. Ovation’s award winning multi-sound hole technology is also incorporated in the Celebrity Deluxe Series to push out powerful acoustic tone and exceptional balance.

I own $10,000.00 guitars that aren’t made as nice , thats right $10K , PRS tree of life and Dragon I

Overall:
For $400 its reall a no brainer, looks, sound feel, features, all things you would expect from a $1000.00 axe, it should come with a case, raise the price $75 and toss in a medium case, good insurance
