Luna Guitars Paz Lenchantin Signature Bass Gets All Arty

July 18, 2008
Luna Guitars Paz Lenchantin Signature Bass Released

Luna has announced that they've teamed up with ex-A Perfect Circle, ex-Zwan, current-Entrance bassist Paz Lenchantin for the Luna Paz Signature Bass. The bass comes after Paz already discovered Luna's Henna series, playing a Luna Henna Oasis Cedar guitar.

Luna invited Paz to become a signature Luna artist, and according to a very reputable source, Paz decided that "a bass with Henna on the pickguard would be a dream come true." And big dreams are exactly what drove Paz Lenchantin to be one of the most sought-after bassists in rock music.

Paz worked with the luthiers at Luna headquarters to bring the bass into existence. She was presented with the prototype of the bass at Winter NAMM 2008 and has been playing it since. Now it's in its final stage and readying itself for availability. It will eventually come in different finishes -- black gloss with the Henna pickguard and Mahogany with the Henna pickguard.

Here are the specs:

  • Headstock: maple
  • Tuners: vintage P bass style chrome
  • String tree: chrome
  • Logo: laser burn
  • Nut: graphite
  • Fretboard: rosewood
  • Fret markers: Luna signature mother-of-pearl moon phase

  • Body color / finish: white gloss
  • Pickguard: cedar with gloss finish

  • Bridge: vintage style chrome
