This Guitar Has Everything You Need! - LAVA ME 4 & Pedals 

My pleasure!

Can you use the livedrums function and the pedals on the Lava me 3 too?

@@giovannimastropasqua5229 live drums I use all the time. I don't have the pedals, but technically it shouldn't be any problem to use them, I guess..

You are so lucky learning guitar in 2024. I am 61 and been playing 48 tears. Back in the day the only way to learn a song was put on an album and stop the needle every 5 seconds. We had no RU-vid, online training, digital recorders or anything like a Lava guitar. If I was you I would join an online guitar sites which are so freakin cheap and go through a course. Whatever you like (Blues, rock, jazz, country, country etc). I would also 100% learn the CAGE system. Just go on YT and search it out. You can learn in one year what took me 25 years. I would also highly recommend learning basic theory. Major minor, inversions, scales, arpegios, etc. And 100% learn the blues. The 1 4 5 progression is the basic for all rock. Learn pentatonics. Good luck my friend. And remember the more you learn on guitar the more you will realize how much you don't know. Have fun!!

Im wondering the same thing

I had my ME3 battery fail within the warranty period. Unlike every other similar device, this DID NOT have overcharge protection. I kept it in the charging station and at some point it would not turn on. The battery had swollen and bent the circuit board. I did get an offer to ship it to a repair site or be sent the replacement battery. I opted for the new battery and an install kit. I do say that it was a VERY fiddly process to replace the battery. Once that was complete I checked online for a replacement battery, should it fail again. The battery is a standard FGB/T 18287 readily available from various sites. HOWEVER - the LAVA has a battery pack which has some sealed circuitry, so you would have to open that up and hope (maybe?) that you could replace the battery. Not worth it in my book. All that said, maybe the new model, ME4 takes care of the issue, but I personally would not chance it. PS: I see one of the feature of the new model is a faster processor. I found that on mine, the touch screen was so slow, I could not ever conceive of playing out with it unless I had it set to a template and stayed with it. They keep pushing these things out for free to reviewers and not too many who actually use it apart from the demos that they post.

Thanks, poor that there is simple user battery swap. Could be a game changer for me after reading your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to pen this.

Thanks! Yes they also work with the ME 3 :)

Where are you located? There might be some places for you to try a few.

Looks like a cheap toy (headstock).

I have a problem with the body. The rounded edges don't sit well if you are sitting on a stool. You pretty much need to sit with a strap on it.

Good question!

No…..

yes that should work, but not with the spruce version (as far as I know)

Hey! No I don’t have any dead spots on the fretboard. I would return the guitar and order a new one!

Thank you so much!@@SRguitar

I have the Lava Me 2 and the Enya NexG 2. I much prefer the NexG 2. I feel the Enya has more versatility, and unlike the Lava, when using headphones the Enya is nearly silent (makes no acoustic sound, as the internal speaker turns off when you plug in headphones). The Enya is also less expensive, and includes earphones, and the deluxe version even comes with a charging stand and a wireless mic, so you can use the guitar as a portable, self-contained PA system.

But you can take this guitar to the beach and it has everything you need to practice and improve your playing. Built in recorder and looper is priceless.

Hey, I can totally understand your thoughts, it's always better to play the guitar before you buy it. One thing you could do is ordering one and make use of the 30 day money back option, so you can try it and if you don't like it you can send it back within 30 days. That's a good option if you don't have a dealer near you.

@@SRguitar not disagreeing with you, you make a good point, but to me it’s a hassle doing returns. Just set in my ways I guess. Lol. Thanks for your feedback though. 👍🏻

The cool thing about Carbon Fiber in general is that it creates such a stable tone that unlike wooden guitars where 10 of the same models of a guitar might have slight differences, and what sounded good at the factory might not sound the same depending on where they ship it; they will all pretty much sound the same. So you know for sure you’re getting the guitar just as the QA guys heard it. The biggest draw is of course the onboard effects though. From my experience they’re pretty comparable to high end guitars and anything they lack “unplugged” is easily handled by the effects.

@@jacobcarrizales427 What about set up on Carbons? I see a lot of reviews that you can’t set them up as to the others. I do see that they are putting truss rods in some of them. They first one of the carbons I looked at was the Enya.

Yeah to each his own. But if i can help you in any way; lets just say i owned 2 martin, a taylor, and electric guitars ( gibson, 3 fender, ibanez ). And i could still enjoy my lava me 3. In fact i am now somewhat spoilt by it, that i realized, its the guitar that i often grab these days to play. The tension ( 0.12 gauge ) to me is however too mechanical and rigid and affects my playability ( perhaps the manufacturer's intention is to maintain and enhance it's sound quality). But i replaced them with a 0.10 set. Loving it ever since.❤

yes

Not for now…

I've seen other reviews where it doesn't 😅 but agreed. Idk if I want one anymore. Lol

How is it unpractical? Its a guitar PLUS effect. So how is it unpractical? Lol

The same could be said for RU-vid yet here you are.

@@DanSkinny nope, it is not the same. RU-vid is a service, I can use it or not, my choice. But if I buy a gadget, like a guitar is. I do not see the point to be forced to register. Makes no sense
