LAVA ME air Carbon — A 36" Travel Guitar Reinvented in Carbon Fiber

The LAVA ME air Carbon is a 36-inch travel guitar engineered for musicians who refuse to leave their instrument behind. Built around LAVA's patented AirSonic carbon fiber composite in a unibody construction, this model weighs just 1.8 kg with a body depth of only 84.5 mm. This travel guitar is the right choice for traveling players, buskers and gigging musicians who need an instrument that survives overhead-bin luggage and humidity changes without sacrificing tone.

Carbon Fiber Construction Built for the Road

Every component is engineered for durability without the bulk of a traditional acoustic. The unibody AirSonic shell is weather-resistant and unaffected by temperature or humidity swings.

• Top Material: Super AirSonic carbon — patented composite, brighter and clearer than wood tops
• Back & Sides: AirSonic carbon unibody — seamless shell, no glued joints to fail under stress
• Neck Material: Carbon Fibre — straight, stable neck that resists warping over years of travel
• High-Pressure Laminate Fretboard — smooth, durable playing surface with a 400 mm radius

FreeBoost Magnetic Electronics for Plugged-In and Unplugged Playing

The FreeBoost Magnetic system pairs a custom magnetic pickup with onboard effects processing, so the guitar sounds full and clear whether on stage, in a hotel room or at a campsite. Five factory presets can be edited through the LAVA+ app, and two assignable digital knobs give hands-on control over effect parameters.

• Pickup System: FreeBoost Magnetic with custom magnetic pickup — clearer tone, ultra-low feedback on stage
• Onboard FX: 5 customizable effect chains — delay, reverb and drive, even unplugged
• Tone Wheel — blend mix between magnetic pickup and acoustic simulation to shape the plugged-in voice to taste
• Battery: 3350 mAh / 3.7 V lithium-ion — USB-C recharging (5 V / 2 A)

Compact Size, Short-Scale Feel

At 918.5 mm overall, this model keeps a compact travel footprint. The shorter scale length reduces string tension for easier bending, and the matte neck finish feels smooth under the hand.

• Overall Length: 918.5 mm — compact travel size
• Scale Length: 597 mm — short-scale feel, easier bends and vibrato
• Nut Width: 43.9 mm — comfortable for fingerstyle and chord work
• Weight: 1.8 kg — light enough for all-day carry in the included gig bag

Who Should Play the LAVA ME air Carbon

This travel guitar is the right choice for traveling musicians who need an instrument that survives overhead-bin luggage and climate changes without warping or cracking. Buskers benefit from onboard effects that are audible even without an amp. Singer-songwriters who split their time between home, hotel rooms and outdoor venues will appreciate the magnetic pickup's clean plugged-in tone, while fingerstyle players get a comfortable short-scale neck with low factory action.

LAVA MUSIC and the Carbon Fiber Guitar Movement

LAVA MUSIC has built its reputation on rethinking the acoustic guitar from the ground up, replacing traditional tonewoods with patented carbon fiber composites and integrating onboard digital effects directly into the instrument. The LAVA ME air Carbon brings this approach to a slim, lightweight travel format.
