I know I should post that in the General sub-forum but I do not consider this guitar as a real acoustic guitar.
On the opposite the tone from the player perspective is full and well balanced. I guess it is related to the soundhole position. I would call it a selfish pleasure guitar.
I write this post on the Amplification thread because the pluggin sound is really great. TheNot the L2 pickup [Not the Baggs] I tested was quite impressive.
Lava U Review
Thank you for that, Cuki! I was looking forward to see some of those Lava around here. It seems to be a very light and pratical performance guitar.
I am not sure it would match your style... Bit too square. I have hard time imagine you with something else than an HD-28...
I think I might have had luck, then. The HD28 was a choice I made without think or know anything about acoustic guitars. I just got a money that I made in two years giving muay thai lessons, and got me the most beautiful acoustic guitar I could find in a store. Hahahaha! I'm glad it matched with my style... or I made my style maatch with the guitar, I really don't know.
Has Anyone Seen And Heard Lava Guitars?
We have been discussing Lava Me guitars here previously but I believe this is the first time a bad acoustic tone from the audience perspective is mentioned.
I wonder, does that include the acoustic tone with Freeboost on? I'd expect reverb and chorus should be able to take away some of that perceived harshness.
Regarding soundhole position, I don't think that could be the culprit though. After all, McPherson guitars have soundholes in the same position and they are considered to be great sounding guitars, both the wood and carbon fiber models.

I can not be sure it was off.., but I think it was (I had hard times to understand how to put it on)It is loud for it size, it is nicely priced, and the onboard electronic and amp are similar to that of the ToneWoodAmp. Interesting.
Spent just a bit of time looking around online about it. For anyone interested, here's a few links that you may enjoy:
Lava Me 3 Review: A Carbon Fiber Guitar With A Touchscreen
Until there's loads of reviews out there, I would always be cautious of quality control. Who knows, maybe they have it? Then again, maybe not?
Thank you bringing this to the forum. I had seen the guitar before now, but it looks as though there have been some improvements and some effort at publicity. I wonder if this instrument was at NAMM?
I doubt they were at NAMM. But the Singaporean dealer whose shop I visited went to NAMM. He told me Lava Me has a huge domestic market back in China and they would focus more back home and may branch out later. Our Singapore shop here has the full range of Lava Me guitars and I am fortunate to try hence the quick review. The guitar is into its ver 2.0 now with onboard reverb and delay function plus the ToneWoodAmp alike amplification. Price is around $700USD. All Satin finished. Blue is my choice color. Dealer told me some tourists grab as many as 6-7 pieces home.

I am on the fence mainly of the texture and the questionable material. Construction looks neat, but can be too much like a toy. Sound is definitely big and full range for the price. Purist will turn away because of the non CF weave look.
1) We all love carbon fiber, but do we know why? I'm sure many modern synthetic materials would be perfectly adequate, or even superior to CF, for guitar-building.
Hi Guys. I am from Singapore and I own both the LM and Lava Me 2 version. Got the LM2 on the first day of 2019. I like it very much and I choose the blue one! It has the free boost system, which is very similar to Yamaha’s Trans-acostic (TA) system. I usually play it without plucking it into an amplifier. If I want or need it to be louder, I just turn on the Free Boost (TA) by pressing a button on the top of the guitar.
Lava Me Review
Now for its cons (as opposed to pros). Its nut width is even slightly smaller than 1 11/16” and unsuitable for guys with big hands and stumpy fingers. And knowing how many guys on AGF dislike the GS Mini because of its smaller nut width (1 11/16”), the LM2 is out of contention for many people on AGF. Yes, the tiny top sound hole is too small to slip your hand into it. Its scale length is 23.5”.
I would describe its tone as warm and very balanced. It is fairly loud and resonant for a small guitar (as loud as a GS Mini) without using the Free Boost (TA). No, it doesn’t slip off my lap while playing it seated. I am not sure if it is made of some other material that is not Carbon Composite (CF).
Hope this is informative and somewhat helpful. I don’t think the Supplier ships this guitar to the US at the moment. So for now, enjoy the Rainsong and Emerald CF guitars that are available.
Lava Me 2 Guitar Introduction
I'm interested to at least try it since I'll be in Singapore at the end of the year or early next year. But for me, I like sound hole access and prefer a different nut and scale length. I wasn't particular in the past, but AGF has slowly made me more picky :-).
Maybe by the time I travel there will a second model available to try, but even then, I have all the guitars I need for the limited play time I have available.
I watched the construction video(s) when it was first introduced several months ago and it's apparent it is not made from carbon fiber--at least not carbon fiber cloth--but carbon something else.

If I recall correctly, it begins with carbon pellets that are melted and then injected into a mold. It hardens very quickly and moments later, voila, you have the guitar, or parts, at least. A very automated and clean process.
Maybe the pellet are infused with carbon fiber particles or tiny fibers? I really don't know and they never got into that level of detail. I assume it's still very strong--but maybe not quite the same as normal carbon fiber composite.
Regardless, as mentioned, if it produces good sound, is quality made, plays easily, it certainly will also have the main advantages of other CF instruments--being care free. With the NEVER ending heat and humidity of Singapore, this should be attractive for players. I know the other CF makers have sales there for the same reasons.

For many players, the drawbacks for me are not drawbacks at all but pluses. And if the electronics work well--it makes a very interesting guitar. I think I like the looks as well.
Hi Ac, the guitar that I own is the second version. The third version (if it is actually produced) that they can come up with is perhaps a bigger version of this Lava Me 2. Bigger in terms of nut width, scale length and body size. I have a friend who is about 5’8” and he likes this guitar very much, except that its nut and the body size is too small for him. He’ll be happy if a larger version is produced. Let’s see if a third version of this Lava Me comes out. They will most likely sell well in US (assuming the complexities of trade between US and China is resolved).
I've been following Lava Me for awhile on social media and I got the impression that they were going to sell in the US. I really admire the design of this guitar and hope it makes it over here. Our student market needs something like this.

Yes, but no nylon. I believe that nylon strings and slightly wider nut width make it easier for beginning students. They can play longer and have a bigger space to play in.
I’ve been playing acoustic guitar since 1977. In all these years, I’ve owned many many guitars. I play live every few months and do lots of composing/recording.
Firstly, I live in a subtropical environment and own a very expensive Martin that is now struggling due to humidity. It’s a beautiful guitar but it’s in need of specialised repair now, which is not available in my area. I’m watching it fade away and am absolutely considering cutting my losses and selling it.
Lava Me 2
Secondly, I liked the various video reviews for the Lava, particularly of the onboard chorus and delay. Just seemed like a nice idea.
Finally, I bought it because I was going camping for a week and needed a small/light travel guitar that wouldn’t mind being in a hot tent during the day.
The build is great, being a one piece “carbon fibre” (sort of) instrument - i.e. the neck and body are one
