Structure and materials
In order for the body to produce the maximum sound experience, it is made of carbon fibers. The robust material allows for a very lightweight construction, which gives the sound a powerful foundation and allows for an almost attack of all notes.
The neck, also made of carbon fiber, guarantees comfortable access to all 18 frets set into a fingerboard made of HPL.

Hardware and design
Clean intonation on the shortened scale of 597 mm is ensured by a compensated bridge insert and a 42.9 mm wide nut made of Graph Tech TUSQ. High-quality die-cast tuners made of aluminum are inserted into the headstock for easy operation. The modern design is emphasized by a generous sound hole in the upper part of the top, which runs parallel to the strings. Below the HPL bridge is an engraving in the form of the company logo, which optimally rounds off the overall appearance in combination with the matte white finish.
Electronics
Thanks to its state-of-the-art integrated L2 FreeBoost technology, the Lava ME 2 FreeBoost Black amplifies itself so that a handsome volume can be generated even without additional electronics. Moreover, the guitar includes an additional effects section with reverb, Delay and chorus. The player can conveniently adjust the volume and the respective effect via a preamp in the frame.
