LAVA ME AIR Portable Carbon Fiber Electric-Acoustic Guitar. Travel Guitar for Beginners with Onboard Effects and Magnetic Pickup. Black

I have been playing electro acoustic guitars for about 30 years, I bought the Lava Me Air because of the amazing YouTube reviews, which sounded really good! The guitar was almost unplayable out of the box and the pick up system sounded terrible!. As a result of my experience I left a very negative review! However, much to my surprise Lava Music reached out to me to see if they could resolve my issues! They did a service upgrade providing me with a replacement, the Lava Me 4 Spruce. This was a completely different experience! With some minor tweaks to the action it plays very nicely, sounds warm and rich and is a beautifully finished guitar. Even without the effects turned on, this guitar sounds and performs very well. Compared to other acoustics on the market of a similar price, the guitar is well worth its price, you will not be disappointed!

This is my third lava me guitar, but this one really exceeded my expectations. Like the previous lava me guitars, the lava me air maintains its excellent built quality and lightweight design that I've come to love from this brand. What sets this model apart is that it's noticeably slimmer, making it perfect for long jam sessions. The acoustic sound remains outstanding. The built-in effects are a fantastic bonus. I really like the convenience of turning on the sound effects by just pressing down the knob, I would say it’s a simple improvement from the lava me 3 but brings tremendous convenience. The knob also lights up with different colors corresponding to each sound effect, making it easier to select and switch between them. The end of the neck also lights up along with the knob, which looks really cool. The only thing I wish to have on this guitar is the looping feature from my Lava Me 3. But even without it, the lava me air feels like the future of guitars. If you're considering an upgrade or looking for a versatile, high-quality instrument, this is it. Highly recommend!

I wanted the full touchscreen experience but for me the price was too steep so I bought the AIR version. The sound is amazing and the build is solid. Two things you want to do once you get this guitar. Replace the strings with a reputable brand and adjust the string action for the clearest sound. Because I found that the maker doesn't explain string replacement well, they can be pulled out and fed through the bottom of the bridge pretty easily when replacing. This is the one guitar I can travel with and because its thin and small I can sit back on the couch and play it with comfort. I have a few guitars and while they sound great I can't say they're comfortable. This one is. Don't count much on the app with this brand. Its probably only good for software updates and thats about it. I think the app was meant mainly for units with touch screens.

Very poor quality and packaging compared to their initial products. They started delivering outstanding guitars and premium presentation. To my opinion, this model at least, does not worth to buy anymore.

What a fun little guitar! I was skeptical because of the price point, but went ahead and got one. Once it came in, I made some adjustments and had it playing really nice within a few minutes. Just to note, it has a truss rod! The effects were pretty impressive. It’s very lite due to the carbon fiber body. It included a tuner and other accessories as well. It looks like I will have to buy another one, as my son has taken this one and refuses to give it back. Will probably go with the newer smart one this time. Lots of fun!

First off, it's visually a beautiful guitar. The chrome ringed offset sound hole makes for a unique presentation, and the stark white front and back with the light wood sides make it a piece of art. I found the effects a little tinny compared with the Enya X3 Pro Mini that I had purchased previously, but then again the X3 failed to work after 20 days, so there's that... The neck is very playable and stays pretty much in tune (it's not carbon fiber after all) and the magnetic cover over the truss rod is a great idea. My one complaint about the tone is the boominess of the bass strings - loud, but muddled compared to the higher strings. You learn to compensate with your picking style to get a better mix, but I can't say the Lava gives you a balanced sound on barre chords or cowboy chords. Not bad, just different. Overall, I really like the Blue Lava Original, and the sweet gig bag is a bonus.

As an owner of several guitars, I was struck by this acoustic-electric guitar with its unique built-in pre-amp which when charged provides effects without being plugged into an amp. It is beautiful to look at and well constructed and the acoustic sound was impressive. Unfortunately the pre-amp would not charge, so I am awaiting a replacement, so I can only judge the effects from the videos I've seen, but I have high expectations from what I've already heard and seen and anxiously await its return. Check out the videos. Just got my replacement! Let it charge for the better part of a day. The effects are striking, not even "subtle" with the volume up. If you are considering getting this guitar, do not hesitate.

Madly in love With a guitar. Yes she’s small. Doesn’t look like a big rugged boy but for such a little girl, she has a very powerful voice. The presets are a dream very easy to use. The guitar is lightweight, which means I can carry all my other instruments like my flutes and my drums, etc. Big is definitely not better even though it’s more macho …this guitar is more feminine so for those big boys guitar players the small, compact size may be a turn off. I live in Arizona where it’s very dry hot heat, and I do not have to keep it carbon fiber guitar humidified. Just one more thing to do instead of spend the extra time practicing. Those inserts humidify the guitar, which has to be kept in a close guitar case. It was a bit of a hassle. The inserts requires distilled water and it has to be replenished every week. With this guitar, I can keep it on a guitar stand reach out for it anytime I choose to practice. One less chore to have to do. I am on cloud nine
