I actually got this a few weeks ago, but here's what I got:

It's a Luna Muse Parlor - a cool little acoustic/electric. I'd decided that I wanted/needed another small/inexpensive acoustic guitar to keep at my fiance's place in LA so I wouldn't need to take along a guitar whenever I went up there for the weekend, plus she had been wanting one of her own becuase she's been wanting to learn guitar lately. We made a deal that she would pick it out, and I would approve of it before buying it.
A few weeks ago we wandered into this cool shop called Neal's Music in Huntington Beach, and they had all sorts of these Luna acoustics and electrics on the wall. I was noodling with an ESP or something like that, and she picks this one off the wall and starts checking it out. I instantly loved the way it played... it's got a 1 5/8ths inch nut and is 25.5 scale, and given the parlor size it plays very much like an electric. Plus it's LOUD. It projects as well as my full-sized Seagull S6 acoustic. And it looks cool... little moon phase inlays on the neck and a Celtic-style rosette around the soundhole. Plus it's got decent electronics in it so I can use it live if need to. We handed it back and forth for about an hour just playing on it and checking it out and I loved it so much that I couldn't pass it up.
It was $380 out the door with a gig bag. GREAT deal for how nice this is. My girl looked at a brochure the store had on Lunas and apparently they're designed by women for women with smaller body and neck profiles. I think that's a very cool way to design an instrument for a specific gender, but it plays and sounds so good I don't care who it's supposed to be for. I have smallish hands so it works for me!
Oh yeah... props to Neal's Music, too. The salesguy in there (Glenn was his name) was very friendly, knowledgeable, and great to talk to. He didn't act like a pushy used car salesman and he was cool with answering any and all questions and just letting us be in the store. They had some GREAT stuff in there too. Oranges, Kranks, Voxes, ESPs, Lunas, Charvels, Deans and a handful of stuff from some boutiqey brands. Cool store. http://www.nealsmusic.com/shop/
