LAVA ME PLAY Smart Guitars,HILAVA 2.0 System Acoustic Electric Guitar,Right Handed 6 Steels String Acustica Guitarra For Adults & Teens & Beginner (36', LITE BAG,Nightfall & Frost White)

I bought the Lava Me Play on 10/3 and it arrived 10/9 in perfect condition. It's a small guitar for sure, somewhere between a parlor and OO size. The HPL body makes for a super light, slightly neck-heavy guitar. There's a usb-c charging port on the bottom of the body (I immediately put a magnetic charging adapter on it to minimize strain on the usb port until I pick up the wireless charging stand). It came with about 58% charge and after roughly 4 hours of playing with all the bells and whistles it was down to 51%, so it seems like it will last quite a while on a full charge.The big selling point of this guitar is obviously all the smart features. If you, like me, watched videos on YouTube of the Lava Me 3 and thought it looked cool, but too pricey for what may turn out to be a gimmick, this guitar has all the Lava Me 3's features with a faster processor and more memory for a smoother interface. For $400, it does a LOT of cool stuff. The built in tuner, drum tracks, looper, and lessons are all top notch. The effects are numerous and range from great to totally gimmicky, but the simple reverb, flange, and phase settings are pretty great. I need to spend more time playing around with settings (I boosted the effects volume in advanced settings by about 25% - any more than that and the feedback the app warns you about starts to become an issue), but I'm confident in saying that the value for money for the Lava Me Play is pretty incredible. Yeah, the HPL feels and sounds cheap when played without effects, but those effects overcome the shortcomings and then some. It's a little bit like saying a strat sounds crappy unplugged - that ain't the way it's meant to be played.All-in-all, I'm super impressed with this fun, kinda weird looking tech demo of a guitar. I've played for over 25 years, have played many different kinds of guitars and can't think of one that's more fun to play than this. If you're a beginner, grab one - it will make learning easier and way more fun (and the super low action makes for happy fingers). If you're a guitar vet and want to play with something fun and different, you can't go wrong with the Lava Me Play.(Also, it connected to my WiFi no problem, not sure what could cause the other reviewer here's WiFi issue, but my guitar thankfully didn't share that problem.)

This was a gift for my grandson who is learning to play the guitar. He took to it immediately and finds so much joy and relaxation making music. I worried this would be another item he would quickly become bored with, but he has shown so much interest in it. His friends come by to play and make music with him as well. I’m grabbing another for my granddaughter for a Christmas! This is such a great guitar and not only for beginners. My son loves it and he’s a great guitarist. Worth every cent!

Super surprised by quality of the guitar!! and the functionalities. I have the lava me 2 and like it a lot, I recently have seen lots of IG influencers like Mateus Asato and so on that are playing with the loops and backing tracks on the lava me 3 and 4, then I decided to give it a try, so I bought the most affordable version — lava me play. And MY GOSH, I was completely blown away by how much I enjoyed playing it. The guitar is like a mini studio or creative hub if you will, I have created 3 short pieces in a day, there are LOTS of drum loops and backing tracks that you can choose from. I think it’s the “instant experience” that sparks so many ideas. The effects are really neat too, especially if you plug it in or record internally. It’s definitely a big leap from the lava me 2! The playability of this guitar is amazing, it doesn’t feel like a 399 guitar, it’s well made and I don’t have to worry about taking care of it, just like my lava me 2. I think if you don’t wanna spend that much for the features or if you’re a beginner, the lava me play is really a perfect choice !!! Love it so much <3

The features on this guitar allow my grandson to gain confidence in his performance.

The media could not be loaded. 1st off, I've been drumming for 40 years. Lead singer in my bands. I drum and sing and sometimes just sing. BUT, I've always been drawn to the guitar. I Don know much about the instrument but have had numerous through the years. I can honestly say I love thus guitar. Out of the box it just needed a tuner, easy with built in. No buzzing and a slightly smaller guitar which I like. I'm only 5'5". The tone may not be as warm as a Martin I once had but the effects and built in drum machine make it an easy choice. Hopefully the quality holds up through the years. It seems decent.There are lots of lessons on it that I haven't explored. Way more options than I will probably need. So far, the tuner,effects, looper and drums are all I'm interested in at this point.

Okay, I waited to write this review for over two weeks in order to try out this new tech and give an honest opinon. I own Taylors, Martin, Breedlove and Guild guitars and I must say this is the most fun guitar that I have ever purchased. I got the nightfall version...looks great... and went for the Lava Play to just check out this new type of guitar and the price was very reasonable for 400. It arrived in perfect condition and packed very well. The setup was a tad high, not bad, but I adjusted the relief and shaved the saddle a bit so better now and easy to do. I wasn't crazy about the strings so I restrung with Elixir lights for a fuller sound. This guitar is similar to some of the new Martins with HPL which is okay but the ace in the hole is the electronics, just amazing what it can do for the price and sounds damn good for a 400 dollar guitar. I reached out to Lava with an email for a question and they responded immediately which is also impressive. I think that you can't go wrong with this and Amazon because if you hate it you can return but I doubt that you will, it's kind of an addictive little instrument that you will have fun with for a long time. Forgot to mention that the tuner is great in this guitar, many variations including alternate tunings which is a very nice feature.
