Designed by a graduate of the Musicians Institute in California, the Lava ME 2 Acoustic Freeboost Guitar is made from Super AirSonic carbon fiber composite created by one-piece molding technology. This material enables the guitar to be used in any environment. (Wood guitars are affected by heat and humidity.) Lighter than most guitars, the Lava produces a loud, wide range frequency tone and has a built-in effect preamp. This built-in preamp lets you create effects such as reverb, chorus, delay even without plugging it into an amplifier.

Unibody guitar with one-piece injection molded technology.
Comfortable to hold and offers a loud, wide range frequency tone with its 36” body.

Why We Chose This
The innovative technology used to produce the Lava ME Guitar—the world's first one-piece injection-molded guitar—is credited with changing the way guitars are made, and improving the playing experience. It's made from an advanced material called AirSonic which produces a remarkable tone and outstanding durability against extreme weather conditions, which have adverse effects on standard wooden guitars. The Lava's Breathe Net bracing design increases 30% of the effective vibration areas of the guitar's soundboard, compared with traditional guitars.
