LAVA Music ME PRO Black Gold Electro-Acoustic Guitar with Built-In Effects
Product no: 9000-0070-6036 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Lava Music ME PRO is a brilliantly innovative electro-acoustic steel-string guitar equipped with a powerful L2 PRO preamp developed in collaboration with LR Baggs. Thanks to this preamp, it's possible to mix the signal of the built-in microphone with that of the piezo pickup, before sending the custom blend to your amplifier without any loss of its natural sonic character. Engage Turbo mode, and the ME PRO provides a volume boost of up to 50%, or visit the built-in effects section to see where the real magic happens and drop in reverb, delay and chorus effects without having to hook up any cables, pedals or amplifiers. Which got us wondering...has anyone come up with a new word for 'unplugged' yet?

The LAVA Music ME PRO: Ultra-Light, Ultra-Strong and Ultra-Special

During the design process of the ME PRO, Lava Music took a good look at the aviation industry. By combining multiple layers of a special carbon-fibre composite with a honey-comb structure, a soundboard was shaped that's both ultra-lightweight and ultra-strong. The result is a guitar with unbelievably bright sound and an organic way of shaping every single note. Compared to the Lava ME 2, the top of the ME PRO is twice as rigid and 25% lighter than standard carbon-fibre, so if you thought guitars couldn't evolve any further, then think again!

The Ultimate Travel Guitar

Backed by built-in technology and superb sound, the LAVA ME PRO feels right at home on stage but can also be used as the ultimate electro-acoustic travel guitar thanks to the materials used for the build. While most wooden string instruments are rather sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, that's definitely not the case here, as the ME PRO can withstand temperatures ranging from -20° to 90° Celsius and humidity percentage rates between 10% and 90%. On top of that, it comes with the Ideal Bag PRO, which has been made of 'AirBuff' material and is therefore just as lightweight and strong as the guitar itself, as well as soft, flexible and shock-absorbent.
