Welcome, Erez.
From what I can tell based on the link you gave, this is the sort of
guitar that you'd really have to try out in person before you'd know
whether it worked for you.
The Luna Guitars web site does claim to have a dealer in Tel Aviv, if
that does you any good -- maybe you could "try before you buy".
"Good" guitars are generally made of solid woods. This one does not
claim any solid woods in its construction. This is considered a sure
sign that a guitar is all-plywood. In particular, "Curley Maple" is not
a wood from which tops are generally made, even if it were solid.
So I'd be dubious about this guitar unless I played it myself.

Everything he said and...
I've picked up a couple Luna guitars in shops... they are not anything I'd
be interested in or suggest as a starter. Hopefully this will come across
as not discouraging or condescending, they seem to be build for parents who
know nothing about music or instruments but want their kids to try an
instrument. There are others in the same general price range I'd say to
give a look... Washburn D10, Seagull S6, Taylor Big Baby, Breedlove
Passport, etc. that would probably be better choices. Most of them have
solid tops and can sound pretty good. Just my opinion.

or 30-s with solid tops. are fine sounding instruments, and exceptionally
reasonable.
Just an opinion!Bob Mc.

Electrics are a totally different beast. With the low end ones, you get
low end electronics. And, as the electric experts around here will tell
you(and there are a bunch)the whole signal chain has to be good quality
or it sounds bad. And then there are the pedals ....

Dunno - cheap electrics have a charm all their own.

Whatever you buy, be it acoustic or electric, be sure to put some cash
aside for a set up. You don't say if you are a beginner, but if you
are I think that having good playability is more important than good
tone. Those beginner electric packs are popular here in Oz, and a lot
get sold over the christmas period. I guess they are a good way to get
started. As Charlie said though, once you get interested in electrics,
the whole chain is important. My order of priorites is
pickups>>amp>>effects pedals>> guitar. Honestly.

something compelled erez rosental <erezro...@gmail.com>, to
say:
I note that the item description goes on more about the dolphins
than the instrument. Were I you, I'd spend a little more money
on a Seagull S6, or comparable. Blueridge and Arts & Lutherie
are worth looking into as well.

The Luna stuff is all about marketing. These instruments are not aimed
at guitar players. They're aimed at people who like pretty looking
things, and want a pretty looking, to them, guitar.
At Luke Wilson's day before yesterday I played a Recording King 000
along these lines, and it was a very good deal for an inexpensive
guitar:

I put new pickups and controls in a cheap (but very well made and
pretty) Les paul copy (Samic or Cort as I remember) for one of my
Grandsons. It finished up sounding better and was more versatile than a
genuine LP.
Well both the Grandson an I thought so.

Guitars that are closer are *always* better than guitars that are far away.

It often doesn't take much to turn a Chinese cheapo into a very nice guitar.
My OLP bari is a prime example - SD Jazz pickups turned it into a killer
tonewise, and it already had all the other necessary attributes. But therein
lies the paradox - these beginner guitars are better suited to experienced
tinkerers/players who know how to get the best out of them.
