Playing The Beautiful LAVA ME 4 Spruce 41-Inch Guitar

[@MrBeerscuits]

Just ordered a 41 inch, I have been playing a beginner guitar for almost 10 years and the neck is starting to bend. I’m also stuck on the “playing/strumming only chords” level and wanted something that had lessons and other tech in one package to keep me engaged. Thank you for this video, just found your channel and love your relaxed approach to your videos.

Bought my Lava 3ME about a year ago and it's great for learning, recording and effects but it does not have the soul of a well built wood guitar. If your playing unaccompanied. it's great with the effects, but I still prefer my Furch. I bought my Furch after watching your comparison video 4 years ago. Furch vs Lava vs Eko. While watching it, I liked the sound of all of them, so started to read the comments while still listening. Every now and then I heard the sound i liked, so scrolled back up to see which one you were playing. Every time, it was the Furch that sounded best. Thats when I decided to buy the Furch. Bought the Lava about 3 years later because I thought it would be cool. It is, but I still prefer my Furch Thanks Marco.

Even better. I love a new guitar preview with a tune and a Tab. 😮🙏🏻

I have a Spruce 36. I think of Lava guitars more for convenience during travel or practice, so I stick with my Lava ME 4 Spruce 36 as it takes up less space. Love my '71 Guild D-50 more for acoustic sound.

I have a 41" spruce. Love it. My only complaint is the neck isn't quite to my preference, but that isn't the guitar's fault. It's just my preference. Every guitar has different ergonomics. The features are quite ground breaking. There isn't any other guitar like it as far as I know. 👍

[@e21steverino]

Those effects are so awesome, Marco! I have no doubt one of my next purchases will be a Lava 👍

[@MrVara411]

Big fan of my 36" spruce. The 41" sounds fuller and I think I'd have an easier time with the wider neck... HOWEVER ... the 36" still sounds good and the smaller size just seems more accessible for practice.

my dear friend, I'm glad to know you're so selfish. My dream was to have one, but unfortunately I can't afford to buy one. I use an old 3/4 student guitar, which I use to improvise while following KZbin videos. My dream was to do this with a lava and learn how to use the loop and play around a little. The only thing that brings me peace and tranquility is, without a doubt, the time I set aside at the end of the day to improvise a little. I am very happy to know that you managed to achieve this goal. Good luck and a hug from the Azores Portugal.

i am so sorry, the first response, was rongly made by the translater. so bad man, i am realy sorry.

[@subhanbasumatary9879]

Forget about the size I was just vibing with the music 🎶

[@solargalsolargal]

I prefer the 36 because I like a smaller guitar overall.

[@rickeygibson271]

Your awsome at reviews hit all the right info nice job thanks for the info

[@aguas00]

I love Lava guitars! I would love to have a spruce top, but unfortunately, I don't have the financial means to buy one. For me, even knowing the sound potential of a larger body, I would opt for the 36-inch, due to a disability in my left arm that makes it impossible for me to make large movements. In this context, a smaller guitar makes playing less difficult. Who knows, maybe one day I will be able to make this dream come true. Hug from the Azores Portugal.

[@Al-Kwadrone]

I won’t argue here. In this case, I think size does matter. I’m all in on 41

[@dagenhudson752]

If l ever get enough money to get 1, it would be the 41". Love the effects too.

[@Gelsyviolet]

Marco sei proprio forte. Grazie

[@95ducati916]

Is it a timed loop ? You don't have to stop the recording manually . How long is the loop i f that is the case

[@fdllicks]

I havent heard it live, but from what i hear , i will be keeping my Martin.

[@thebluecap]

There is no way you can compare this with a normal acoustic guitar. It’s supposed to be different which it is.

[@Kufojohn]

@@thebluecap it is called "irony"

[@saeed_46]

I have to get that song on the first ? ❤

[@Desy-2002]

Perfect 👍🏿

[@AlessandroLora]

Non si potrebbe ricevere qke tutorial sulla lava me 4 in italiano?

[@dparadi1]

I own the 41-inch model, and I really love it. I have a much more expensive Taylor and almost always go for the Lava guitar. It's an amazing instrument.

[@Dutch37-]

Maybe I had bad luck. My $250 ibanez Artwood sounds much better. Still waiting on my refund…..

[@SachinBisht.1]

Good one..❤

[@ladc8960]

😮

[@Eisenwisser]

IMHO - the 36-incher sounds way better, more compressed and articulated ... Without excess of booming sound, peculiar to dreadnought guitar. Have a nice week!

[@jeanclaudeuwimana6778]

Good 👍

[@tonicatalacanals]

Thanks to The Witcher for this review 😉

[@massimorossi3068]

Sorry Marco, you are a great musician but I prefer my Taylor 812ce.

[@Dutch37-]

I had this guitar for 2 days. The guitar feels cheaply constructed. I experienced 2 full os-freezes within 3 hours of use. Also, the speaker sounds nothing like you hear in the KZbin-video’s. It’s a dull sound. A couple of effects gave a very annoying echo-like beep tone in my guitar. String height is also a problem. The saddle is already very low so you cannot lower it further. Already returned it for a refund. It’s a shame that a €899 guitar is manufactured this poorly. Finally, the color of the guitar doesn’t look like in the KZbin-videos. It’s more a pink color. Not wood-like. False advertising from Lava and their ‘influencers’.

[@FinalConsensus]

That is unfortunate to hear, I was excited when I saw a “natural wood” permutation of the guitar

[@Dutch37-]

@@FinalConsensussecond guitar is even more worse. Dead screen after one play-session (30 min). Don’t buy it.

[@brotherofmelody]

Thanks a lot was struggling to find real opinions, with how many sponsored Videos there are.

[@droldoiseau]

I have this guitar since 2 month. I don’t agree this point of View. For me it’s a pleasure every day. Easy to play, sounds beautiful, perfectly build. The perfect guitar for me.

[@thebluecap]

I have a total different experience. I think it is great and it can sound just like KZbin samples. This is a 700-800 guitar with a bunch of different possibilities with the effects and more. No one can’t expect it to sound like a Taylor, this is really not the intention, which is what most people would say. I love it and use it everyday. For a big concert is not ideal and not the purpose..

+++++

[@MadBachtler]

You are payed for this, this is fooling people or at least only telling half the truth i have the spruce in 41 and for me the playability is the most problem of this product.This guitar can hardly be adjusted, despite the truss rod you can't get a good string action, which unfortunately makes the product not really comfortable. i am not a beginner and have different guitars, this one is really hard to play. The sound is really ok, but not more. And what use are the most beautiful delays if they don't adapt to the speed of the song. That makes no sense. For me the developing is not at the end, this concept needs a lot of upgrades and better handling possibilities. Cause price isn’t that low. i will have to return it, even though i like the innovative concept of lave, but it is too early to buy one. stay serious

[@Dutch37-]

Totally agree with you. This is payed, false advertising. Marco shouldn’t do this to please Lava. The truth is that this demonstration is NOT how the guitar really is.

[@MadBachtler]

After updating lavafirmware a second screen for editing the effects appeared. Now it is possible to edit delay on the tempo of the song.

[@droldoiseau]

It’s possible to édit the delay since the first version…

[@gessoyomgam8328]

Can u recommend some guitar models

[@Dutch37-]

Marco, I challenge you too record a session without your fancy equipment. Let your viewers hear the real sound. Also, show close-ups of the string-height. This is false advertising dude.

[@Dutch37-]

You lost me as a subscriber. I know you don’t care much (money or free guitars are more important probably), but this guitar is NOT what you get. I’ve had 2 and they are rubbish.

[@ciasma_xavi]

I can buy a two wheeler for whatever that guitar's worth. no thank you
