LAVA ME 2 Guitar: Super Lightweight For Trips!

February 25, 2021February 11, 2021 by Eddie

The LAVA ME 2 is a unique guitar designed using one-piece injection-moulded technology.

Overall, this construction makes it one of the lightest guitars around, being only 3.7 pounds.

And although it has a relatively small body – 36 inches, it produces a loud, clear sound with a wide range frequency tone. Fun effects, including reverb, delay, and chorus, can be used without an amp for on-the-go playing and performing.

I like how the LAVA ME 2 seems to take every LAVA innovation to the next level. Whether it’s the enhanced carbon fiber material or the broader range of effects, the LAVA ME 2 is not your average small-range guitar.

Whether the guitar is hard or easy is subjective, as everyone learns differently and what works for one might not work for another.
