Lava Music Inc., stylized as LAVA MUSIC, is a music technology company based in Guangdong, China.[1]

History[edit]

Lava Music was founded in 2013 by Lu Zitian.[2]

Lava Music introduced their first guitar in 2015 named Lava Guitar.[2]

In 2017, Lava Music developed the first unibody carbon fiber guitar, Lava Me, using the AirSonic carbon fiber material.[3][4] Later, in the same year, it received an award given by the Industrial Designers Society of America.[5]

In 2018, the company introduced Lava Me 2 which was later reviewed by New Atlas magazine.[6] Later, in 2020, Acoustic Guitar also reviewed the instrument and wrote positively about the molded design, use of carbon fiber material, and usage of advanced electronics.[3]

In 2019, Lava Me Pro and Lava U were introduced.[7][8] In the same year, Lava Me Pro received an award given by the Industrial Designers Society of America.[9]

Both instruments, Lava Me Pro and Lava U, have been reviewed by Guitar World.[10][11] Lava U was also reviewed by Ukulele Mag.[12] Guitar World called Lava U the most technologically advanced ukulele.[11] Later, in 2021, both instruments received iF Design Award and Red Dot award.[13][8][14]

In 2020, Lava Music collaborated with a fashion brand, Chemist Creations, and introduced a limited edition acoustic-electric guitar.[15]

In December 2021, Lava Music launched a smart guitar named, Lava Me 3. The guitar features a multi-touch display and a HILAVA system that integrates a variety of applications including tuner, tempo, recorder, effects, and loops.[16] It supports Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and auto-syncs to a mobile app called LAVA+.[16] Guitar Player described it as "a forward-thinking instrument that promises to reinvent the way you make music."[17]
