A compact carbon fibre acoustic guitar
Thanks to its short scale length of 597 mm (23.5") and compact form, the LAVA Music ME 2 Freeboost OR is the ideal travel acoustic guitar. The instrument itself is an entirely new concept: Made from carbon fibre and equipped with the unique Freeboost technology, this guitar has some very special features that you won’t find in the same form anywhere else on the market. The carbon fibre construction results in a full and rich sound with plenty of sustain, while providing the high level of strength associated with this material. The Freeboost technology turns the back of the body into a speaker, while adding integrated delay, reverb, and chorus effects. This impressive system is loud enough for playing at room volume, without ever having to plug into an amp! Of course, you can also use the internal L2 pickup to connect to an amplifier, mixer, or similar if you want to use the ME 2 Freeboost OR on stage or in the rehearsal room.

Robust construction
The injection-moulded AirSonic carbon fibre construction is extremely resistant to the elements and can withstand temperatures between -20 and +90 °C, and humidity levels of up to 90% - unthinkable for a guitar made from traditional tonewoods. The extremely thin and resonant top, with the sound hole on its bass side, ensures a clear sonic projection. This is also where you’ll find the USB port, a microphone for picking up percussive playing techniques, and a switch to activate the chorus and delay effects. The controls for the reverb effect, on the other hand, are located on the top panel of the guitar, and include effect level and master volume. And because the Freeboost technology transforms the back of the body into a speaker, the effects can be heard even when not connected to an amplifier.

High-tech steel string acoustic sound
With its extremely sturdy compact carbon construction, a neck that’s been through the PLEK process for improved playability, and its integrated effects, the LAVA Music ME 2 Freeboost OR is recommended for anyone wanting to be treated to a unique guitar experience, both at home and on the go. And, with its intense orange finish, it is certain to be an eye-catcher on stage too. Other impressive features include the elegant aluminium tuners, a TUSQ nut, and a high-pressure laminate bridge which provides tuning stability and great intonation all along the neck. The ME 2 Freeboost OR comes from the factory equipped with a set of high-quality .012 - .053 gauge Elixir strings. You even get a gig bag, perfect for protecting your instrument when you are on the move.

The use of moulded and robust materials, for example, enhances durability and weather resistance, and also makes it possible to modify their shapes from those of conventional instruments, which have evolved only slightly over the years. In addition, many instruments from LAVA Music also come with state-of-the-art pick-up systems that exceed the functional range of conventional systems. So, if you are interested in the use of modern techniques in instrument making, LAVA Music is a go-to outfit.
Limitless inspiration
Regardless of whether you are using the ME 2 Freeboost OR in the living room, in your hotel room while on a trip, in the rehearsal room, in the studio, or on stage at a live gig, the possibilities are virtually endless. You’ll be surprised how convincing the AirSonic carbon fibre construction sounds, and it can then further be enhanced by the integrated effects. All this, of course, is possible without ever plugging into an amplifier, thanks to the Freeboost technology. In addition, the "PLEK’d" neck enables effortless chord playability due to the pleasantly low string action, as well as offering soloists easy access to notes in the upper octave.

In the spotlight
The PLEK process
PLEK is a patented process in which the frets of a guitar or bass are dressed with extreme precision using a computer-controlled machine. In the first stage, this machine carries out a measurement of the instrument under real playing conditions (i.e. under string tension) in order to identify any uneven spots on the fingerboard. The objective of the process is to provide optimum playability and eliminate fret buzz and loss of sustain, and for this reason, it also includes the instrument’s bridge and nut. The PLEK machine is capable of filing the individual frets with a tolerance as fine as 0.001mm until the optimum result is achieved, and the process is particularly suited to instruments on which the frets have become worn from years of playing. At the same time, however, numerous manufacturers now also use the PLEK process to make their instruments as playable as possible straight from the factory – as is the case with this guitar.
