LAVA ME 2 Electro-Acoustic Guitar Carbon Fibre 36inch Pink

I really enjoyed the guitar in the couple of hours i just played with it already. The sound is balanced , the strings and action or what it's called felt very easy to play , no strings buzzing .. It was simply a well configured guitar out of the box ... Only tuning was required and you're good to go... Tuning was accurate for the whole fretboard for what i saw .I'm not a professional or anything , but my other expensive guitar is like 2000miles away , so i decided to try this one ... I'm pleasantly surprised.The effects are nice to have , however while unplugged , compared to youtube reviews the volume on effects is rather low , maybe TOO LOW...(EDIT: That was just me playing with my fingers, not even fingernails... Effects are pretty full of volume when picking) I can barely hear the reverb on its own , same with delay on its own.. Chorus + reverb does provide a substantial difference while unplugged so that's something ...The volume knob also seems to not be perfectly parallel to the instrument so that when you rotate it it kind of wobbles a bit, although still firm , i don't think it's gonna fall off or anything ...OVERALL , the guitar build and sound seems excellent , i cannot test the effects plugged in , but unplugged it was just an ok experience . Lastly, the package provides a carry case that is decent, but no pockets on it. If you're gonna stick a pick holder on the guitar you ll have to put it inside the soundhole because there is no space behind the head of the guitar at the tuners. It is very portable, just what i needed ...It did have some amount of dust , or what looked/felt like dust on the guitar body when i first handled it , but the packaging seemed robust and closed, maybe from the factory? It didn't look like a repackaged product but i ll never know .I would rate it 4.5 Stars , it shines on the important bits.

There are a lot of good aspects of this guitar. It has a nice, rich sound and I find it comfortable to play. As you would expect from a guitar of this calibre, it stays in tune and the 12th fret harmonics are precise. And precision is definitely the name of the game with this guitar.I have owned this guitar for a month now and almost always play with the effects turned on. I’ve never really warmed to echo on any guitar but the reverb/chorus combination sounds great. The electronics seem to be very good. When I plug the guitar into an amp, it sounds very good as it does when played without the effects so you wouldn’t need to worry much if the battery went flat because it has good volume when played acoustically.There are three silver dial controls on the guitar which are generally good although one is a bit stiff at about 50%. The volume control is also the on/off switch. I charged the guitar on the day I received it. It was partially charged but took a few more hours to get to full charge. Although I play this guitar every day I haven’t had to recharge it yet.The guitar is very light. It has a nice look to it. My one dislike of its shape is that it slides off your lap very easily as you play. After a couple of emails to Lava Music they sent me a small grip to stick to the bottom of the guitar to stop it sliding. I don’t know why they don’t include one of these as standard in the case when you buy it.Some may find the thin neck makes it a bit tricky to play although I have no complaints about it.The Lava Me website is a bit limited and has only a few accessories for sale.The case it comes with is nice but has no room in it for anything but the guitar. A bit more space for accessories would be helpful.All in all this is well worth the money. It is very stylish with a nice build quality and a great sound.I am glad I bought a Lava Me 2 guitar.

I’d always been curious about carbon fibre guitars as an answer to taking on travels without risking damage or warping due to humidity and temperature changes. I took a punt on a ME2 when the price reduced here on Amazon. I wasn’t really that interested in the electronics, so the manual control unit was actually a bonus.I love this thing! The fact that it’s orange is just a bonus because there’s very little about it that’s conventional. It’s comfortable to play. Granted, the action was a little higher than I like when it first arrived, but all new acoustics come like this, giving you the option to lower the saddle to your living - which is exactly what I did with a bit of sandpaper (check out YouTube for how-to vids). The nut was perfectly cut, no adjustment needed there. The neck relief is perfectly acceptable, I don’t miss the adjustable truss rod at all.Unplugged it sounds great, particularly played with fingers. It’s not a big-bodied tonewood dreadnought, so don’t expect a massive strum sound, but it has a sound all of its own and will take strumming.I say appreciate it for everything it is, don’t knock it for not being something it isn’t. Hopefully that makes sense! 😁

It is clear that Lava are trying to revolutionise the guitar industry. Other carbon fibre guitars are still using traditional wood guitar methods to make carbon guitars, but Lava have started from scratch and can make their carbon guitars in one piece, adding new technologies to enhance volume and sound quality. Virtually all the uTube reviews express surprise about the quality of the Lava me2, both in terms of build quality but also sound quality. I am a relatively new player yet find the me2 a brilliant guitar. It is easy to carry about in the close-fitting bag and the action is low - at 2mm on 12th fret. The additional acoustic effect add a new dimension to my playing without having to plug in. I believe Lava have re-set the bar for the manufacture of guitars and as word spreads the popularity of these guitars will increase quickly. The me2 is robust and lightweight, plays beautifully and the built in effect are brilliant. I’m so excited to play this beautiful instrument.
