LAVA ME 4 Acoustic Electric Guitars Carbon Fiber Travel Smart Audio Guitar with 3.5 inch TouchScreen, HILAVA 2.0 System, Right-handed, FreeBoost 3.0, Airflow Bag (38INCH Space Gray)

Update: The CEO/founder contacted me and we figured out the problems together and solved the issues. This is a very nice guitar that employees the use of AI and smart technology to connect to the internet to bring in back beats and loops to enhance your music. I figured out that they needed to update their app and the software within the guitar which they did and this solved some of the issues. We made a few other tweets as well and manually configured the network. I figured out that the issue was more about initiating the new guitar rather than the connection itself so I concluded that it was really more of a security issue. As a tech expert I know this is just a part of technology development and there are always growing pains when you create something new. Louis was kind enough to actually give me a guitar after I had these difficulties and this is very generous and good of him to do! I will continue experimenting with it. It is a nice futuristic looking guitar. We in the music community will never go all out for AI music because we know it detracts from the original creation of human music on the traditional instruments we have always loved but it does open a window that may somehow augment what we do as humans to make the experience more enjoyable for more people. AI would be nothing without the human created material that is already out there and is used in the machine learning process for AI. Still it is a fun concept if used responsibly. Keep innovating! Not everything is meant to be recreated or changed and artistic processes don't always need to be innovated but it can be complemented with a few tools that help us think about how we produce music and sound.

Let’s start with the positives: i love that this guitar is made of carbon fiber, and the thought of being able to take it anywhere at anytime is amazing. The color is a pretty white and it does clean easily. Adjusting the truss rod is incredibly easy and makes playing very nice. The strings are very comfortable to play on and is definitely good for beginners, yet still sounds great to more advanced players. Now the downsides: First, price. This is a very expensive guitar that you can get much better sounding from other brands at the same cost. Secondly, the size is very small and the neck is a bit too thin for my liking. And the biggest thing i have with this is that i just don’t use the screen as much as i thought. It is just kinda cumbersome to me. It’s a solid guitar and is made well. No buzzing, but just not for me.

Action was horribly high right out of the box. Strings are 12s I think so switch them to 9s and feels much better. Keep pressing and changing settings on the screen with my chest by mistake even when I have the screen off. Speaker is not loud enough. Tuner has this horrible "checkmark" that covers the screen so fine tuning is not possible

Yes quite the modern tech toy ..... well not really a toy and something that will take a while to master . Great tone but I have noticed that the effects are far better when using an amp ..... the built in pre amp is OK for practice but to get the full sound you need an amp . It does need a strap as it starts slipping around.... you would think that for the money spent a $10 strap could have been thrown in .

I had high hopes for the LAVA ME 4, especially at this price point (over $1,000). But shortly after receiving it, the guitar completely stopped turning on. I followed all support steps, and it was confirmed to be a battery/power issue. The company had me send it in for repair (under warranty), which took over a week—and I had to pay out of pocket for packaging. Unfortunately, when I received the guitar back, it was still completely unresponsive. I used the recommended charger and followed every instruction. Nothing worked. This has been an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience for such a premium product. I’ve now requested a full replacement, as the issue was not resolved despite a repair attempt. Buyer beware—if something goes wrong, you may not get the resolution you’d expect for a product in this price range.
