Instrument profile

The LAVA ME 2 is a 36-inch carbon-fibre acoustic-electric guitar built for players who need a lightweight, weather-resistant instrument that sounds good unplugged and can add effects without an external amp. Its one-piece injection-moulded Airsonic body weighs just 3.7 pounds and stays stable from -4°F to 176°F at 10-90% humidity, making it practical for travel, outdoor gigs and humid climates.

Deciding specification

The FreeBoost system uses the guitar’s own back as a speaker, letting you engage reverb, delay and chorus directly from the onboard preamp with no amplifier or pedalboard required. If your playing relies on traditional magnetic pickups or you prefer a conventional wooden top for its tonal character, this architecture will not deliver that sound.

Sustained behaviour

Carbon-fibre construction resists the warping and cracking that affect wood during long sets in changing temperature or humidity, so tuning stability and structural integrity hold up through extended performances. The 21:1 ratio aluminium tuners and Elixir Nanoweb strings further reduce the need for constant retuning during a full night of playing.

Questions about this item

How does the 3.7-pound weight feel when I'm holding the guitar for a full set?

At 3.7 pounds the LAVA ME 2 is lighter than most laptops, so it stays comfortable on your lap or strap through long sessions without the shoulder fatigue of a traditional wood dreadnought.

What does the 21:1 tuning ratio actually do for day-to-day playing?

The 21:1 aluminium alloy machines give you finer pitch control per turn, making it easier to dial in exact tuning and hold it through temperature swings from -4°F to 176°F.

Will the 36.87-inch length and 4.63-inch depth fit in a standard guitar rack or overhead bin?

The 36.87-inch height, 12.7-inch width and 4.63-inch depth match a compact 36-inch body that fits most flight cases and overhead compartments; the included Ideal Bag 2 is sized to those exact dimensions.
