Luna is a guitar and ukulele manufacturer known for distinct graphics and aesthetic designs. The Artistic Series Great Wave is a great example of such, following after traditional specs, while having the top serve as canvass for a popular artwork.
The artwork on this guitar is based on the Great Wave off Kanagawa, a woodblock print by Hokusai, a Japanese artist. Copies of this print can be seen in many museums, attesting to its popularity, and thanks to Luna, you can now appreciate and enjoy the artwork right on your ukulele.

Pros
Beautiful to both the ears and eyes, this is how most users feel about the Luna Artistic Series Great Wave Concert ukulele. It gets plenty of commendations for its tone, which many consider to be deeper and fuller compared to smaller soprano ones. Quality of the tuners also get praised, an important advantage over their competition.
Cons
There are a few reports of quality related issues regarding the frets and intonation. While there are many who are happy with the tuners, there are a few who report otherwise.
Overall
If you’re looking for a visually stunning ukulele that doesn’t compromise quality, then do check this out.
