LAVA ME Play 36" Smart Acoustic-Electric Guitar — Travel-Ready With Built-In Learning

The Lava Music LAVA ME Play 36" Deep Blue/Frost White - Lite Bag stands out as a smart acoustic-electric guitar, merging a compact travel-sized body with a full touchscreen learning system. Using the HILAVA 2.0 platform, this model integrates a 91 cm (36-inch) body, L3 preamp, and 8.9 cm (3.5-inch) interactive display on the upper bout. Two-tone finishes are applied to a high-pressure laminate shell that resists humidity, heat, and everyday bumps. The silhouette without a cutaway keeps the top clean and focused on sound projection.

Innovative Smart Features

With the HILAVA 2.0 system, the upper bout becomes a practice studio featuring over 100 exercises for chords, scales, arpeggios, comping, and advanced picking drills. The instrument uses a magnetic truss rod cover for quick neck adjustments without tools, while the ultra-low 2.3 mm action helps beginners with gentle string feel and clean bends up the neck.

Body Construction — HPL Built for Real-World Demands

Instead of traditional woods, high-pressure laminate delivers all-weather resistance and reduced weight. This 91 cm (36-inch) travel guitar weighs approximately 1.89 kg and endures daily use in classrooms, at the beach, or in cafés with no warping or finish damage.

• Top Material: High-Pressure Laminate — surface designed to hold tuning even through temperature swings
• Back & Sides: High-Pressure Laminate — creates balanced resonance and stands up to impacts
• Playing up the neck is smooth thanks to the HPL fretboard and a slim neck heel for easy upper-fret reach.
• Silver-plated hardware on tuning machines and bridge pins gives the guitar a modern, polished look

Electronics — L3 Preamp, Touchscreen, and Built-In Speaker

The L3 preamp with DSP powers the onboard effects, more than 100 drum grooves, and the recording function. Practise quietly using the internal speaker, plug into a PA via the output jack, or recharge the 5000 mAh / 3.8 V battery between sessions for uninterrupted playing.

• Preamp: L3 with DSP processor — models effects, looping, and routes signal without extra pedals
• Operating System: HILAVA 2.0 — 8.9 cm (3.5-inch) touchscreen with 4 GB RAM and 16 GB storage for apps and lessons
• Tuner: Built-in chromatic tuner — accurate enough to maintain tuning through bends and full sessions
• Ultra-low 2.3 mm action provides a light touch, helpful for fast chord changes and beginner hands

Neck, Construction, and Accessories

An Okoume neck with a mechanical joint and adjustable truss rod ensures stable intonation along the 91 cm (36-inch) body. Included is a soft padded Lite Bag so the guitar is protected and portable right out of the box.

• Neck Material: Okoume — a stable hardwood that supports the truss rod and keeps the neck profile slim
• Construction: Mechanical Joint — allows for neck-to-body adjustments and easy servicing
• The Lite Bag (Gig Bag) provides padded carrying with double zippers for quick access
• 91 cm (36-inch) body offers a balance of volume and shoulder-bag portability for everyday travel

Who Will Benefit

Ideal for beginners and intermediate players, this 36-inch smart acoustic-electric adapts to growing skills—from first chords to live performance. Travelling musicians enjoy the 1.89 kg HPL body and Lite Bag, while self-learners access structured lessons via the Learn app and HILAVA 2.0 touchscreen. Coffee-shop performers can easily plug into a PA, use onboard effects, and record ideas directly, and parents seeking a robust first instrument for a teen will appreciate the durable laminate and forgiving 2.3 mm action.
