History

Sunkissed, Lückner's first album under the Guitar moniker was released in 2001[3] and was "well-received".[4] Its sound drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless.[4][3][5]

Honeysky from 2004 was initially only released in Japan, where Lückner lived.[4][6][5]

Tokyo (2006) was inspired by the instruments Lückner encountered during his in Japan[4] and features koto and pipa guitars, two guitars of the Japanese music tradition.[6][3]
