General

Outfitted with a multi-touch display, the advanced HILAVA operating system and integrated apps, the LAVA ME 3 is nothing short of a real 'smartguitar' that will redefine the way you approach playing guitar. Since it's got an on-board recorder, metronome, tuner, rhythm tracks, various effects and even a built-in looper, this high-tech electro-acoustic guitar is also a great rehearsal tool for experimental players and singer-songwriters. The innovative FreeBoost 2.2 technology uses the resonance chamber as a speaker, meaning any effects and recordings can be heard without having to jack into an acoustic amp first.

The Lava ME 3: Smart and Durable Design

Besides modern tech, this unique guitar also boasts an impressive build with an injection-moulded, AirSonic 2 carbon-fibre body forming the core, rendering it extremely lightweight, durable, and capable of withstanding changes in temperature and humidity. As such, the LAVA ME 3 38" is an excellent option for travelling musicians who prefer the longer 24-inch scale length and the wider 44mm nut which this model has compared to the 23.5-inch scale length and 42.9mm nut of the smaller 36-inch ME 3.

Easy Charging

To make use of the built-in tech, simply charge up the internal battery via the official charging dock (not included) or a USB-C power supply like the ones that come included with the latest smartphones. The battery has an 8,000mAh capacity which is enough for nine hours of continuous use (or two weeks in stand-by mode).
