Lava Music Lava ME Play 36" Nightfall/Frost White Electro-acoustic guitar

LAVA ME Play 36" Nightfall/Frost White — Smart Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Lite Bag

The LAVA ME Play 36" Nightfall/Frost White is a smart acoustic-electric guitar that pairs an all-weather High-Pressure Laminate body with the HILAVA 2.0 system and an 8.9 cm touchscreen. It bundles a practice rig, performance tool, and lesson library into one 91 cm instrument, with Lite Bag. The Nightfall/Frost White two-tone finish gives it a distinctive look on stage or at home. Built for players who want a guitar that grows with them, from first chords to live gigs.

What sets this model apart from a standard acoustic-electric

Most acoustic-electrics stop at a preamp and a jack. This model runs HILAVA 2.0 on a standalone DSP audio processor with 4 GB of memory and 16 GB of storage, so effects, drum kits, backing tracks, and lessons live inside the guitar. A 4-MASS structure works with the HPL body for balanced tone, while the built-in speaker and magnetic truss-rod cover add convenience.

All-weather HPL body built for travel

The body uses High-Pressure Laminate on the top, back, sides, and fingerboard, a kraft-paper-and-phenolic-resin composite that shrugs off humidity and temperature swings. An Okoume neck with a carbon-fiber rod keeps the instrument stable, while the mechanical-joint construction and silver-plated finish tie the package together.

• Top Material: High-Pressure Laminate — tolerates outdoor playing
• Back & Sides: High-Pressure Laminate — keeps resonance consistent across climates
• Neck: Okoume with carbon-fiber rod for stability

HILAVA 2.0 system with built-in effects and lessons

The HILAVA 2.0 platform turns the guitar into a learning and performance tool. An 8.9 cm touchscreen, on-board tuner, and 5,000 mAh / 3.8 V lithium battery keep the system running, while the L3 preamp with DSP processor and undersaddle piezo feed the internal speaker and any external rig.

• Preamp: L3 with DSP processor — handles effects, amp sims, and routing
• System: HILAVA 2.0 with 4 GB RAM / 16 GB storage — stores lessons and presets
• Battery: 5,000 mAh / 3.8 V lithium — supports long unplugged sessions

Low action, slim neck, and a travel-ready Lite Bag

Playability was tuned for new players. A 2.3 mm string action, thin heel, and adjustable truss rod with a magnetic cover reduce finger fatigue. At 1.89 kg, the 91 cm body suits couch, campfire, and classroom use, and the Lite Bag adds padding. The non-cutaway body keeps the silhouette clean with comfortable upper-fret access.

• Action: 2.3 mm — easier chord shapes and barre work
• Body Length: 91 cm — compact scale for travel
• Lite Bag included — soft-padded gig bag

Beginners, students, and gigging players who want one guitar that does it all

The LAVA ME Play is the right choice for beginners who want a forgiving guitar. It suits students who need a built-in tuner, metronome, and lesson library for daily practice, and it serves songwriters who want effects, drum loops, and a stage-ready output jack. Travelers benefit from the all-weather HPL body and the lightweight Lite Bag.

Lava Music and the rise of the smart guitar

Lava Music built its reputation on carbon-fiber and composite acoustic guitars. This entry-level line extends that philosophy to new players, pairing weather-resistant HPL construction with the HILAVA operating system to put effects, lessons, and recording tools on the instrument. The Nightfall/Frost White colorway continues Lava's two-tone design language.
