General

Able survive the most extreme of conditions unscathed, the Lava ME 4 Carbon 36" electro-acoustic travel guitar isn't just durable - it's smart. This innovative model features the FlyNeck 2.0, which combines an all-new and highly advanced truss rod with a precision-milled shape and a set of PLEK-finished frets to complete comfortable and controlled playability. Set the action and personalise the feel of this guitar in detail via the adjustable truss rod and, once you've found your preferred setting, the ME 4 Carbon remains stable, in both build and tuning thanks to the singular one-piece carbon fibre composite construction. To keep this guitar in perfect condition on the road, it also comes complete with a form-fitting Space Bag.

The Lava ME 4 Carbon 36": Effortless Inspiration

With a 32-bit floating point, the SHARC audio chip tucked up neatly inside this Lava guitar delivers a hyper-accurate digital audio signal that's now seven times faster than previous models. The ME 4 Carbon is also supported by advanced audio algorithms and an exclusive bank of effects, all thanks to that smart chip, making it possible to play without the need for any external effects, since they come built in. Scroll through and select effects via the Effects app, which is powered by the SHARC chip plus FreeBoost 3.0 technology, and even experiment with acoustic and electric guitar sounds. Even if you want to quickly lay down an idea, you don't even need a computer and audio interface, simply record ideas and play them back directly from the guitar.

Raise Your Game with Handy Partner Apps

Discover fresh riffs and phrases using the Create App, where you can improvise solos or play along with hundreds of backing tracks. In Loops, an expansive array of grooves is supplied to help you build your ideas, and then, you can record them in Improvs or share them via Respond Improvs. With the Learn App, you can pick up new techniques, chord progressions and licks from any genre, each accompanied by demo videos or real-time tablature that you can read on the side-mounted display screen of the ME 4 or on your own phone. Another sweet feature is the Capo function, which you can activate to automatically raise the pitch of every string to a selected fret - as if you've just placed a capo on the fretboard. For the extra-motivated guitarist, there's also the LeaderBoard App and, to really bring your compositions to life, simply pick out a beat from the library of over 100 drum loops supplied by the LiveDrums App.
