Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

A bit more features for the price asked is what most musicians would like to see from Luna's Athena 12-String. Whether it's the quality of craftsmanship, or the price, musicians don't seem to like what Luna offered with Athena 12-String.

Carefully chosen set of features makes Luna's Athena 12-String a really good guitar. Some might say that it lacks some of the features, but Athena 12-String's features still fulfill an average musician's needs. You won't be wrong to go for this axe 'cause it has a wide array of different sounds and a lot of possibilities for tweaking the sound to make it yours. Getting one of Luna's Athena 12-String is a way to go.

You could find a better fitted guitar, but Athena 12-String is ready to be played by any musician willing to take time and adjust it to his/her needs. Luna built a guitar that has nice finish but it lacks something that would make it feel even better. Guitar stays in tune reasonably well, if you don't force it too much, and the Athena 12-String's neck is playable.

Some might say that Luna didn't go all the way in providing a reliable and durable instrument, but Athena 12-String isn't that bad. It will serve you well most of times, though you should be wary and have backups in situations where you feel Athena 12-String might let you down, such as gigs and studio sessions.
