This thread is going south pretty pretty pretty fast.

Right, "headed" is a better word. Got to pay more attention to my word choice. Thanks for the help.
Winston Churchill once noted that success was a matter of failure after failure with no diminishment of enthusiasm. Golly, I hope that's true. |

I emailed an inquiry and received the following info:
The scale length is 23.62" and the nut width is 1.69". The quoted price based on the current exchange rate is $587 US and $147 US for shipping. I wouldn't expect the quality to equal Blackbird, Emerald or Rainsong but as I said earlier, for travel it seems very reasonable. Mitch |

And quality? The Singapore review already pointed out there is some risk and return would be an issue. Would I be interested in parting with over $700 for this level of risk? Not personally. Currently, I would need to see, inspect, feel and try one in person. But these are still early models. Future reports and reviews may later change my position now. |

I believe it lacks a truss rod, which is a bothersome point for me.
I see no access for adjustment on the head stock, and the sound hole is too small to gain any access for any possible adjustment inside the body.

Maybe they'll come out with a new model that has a cupholder.
Seriously though it reminds me of a Blackbird Lucky 13 or a CA but less somehow. I think I will wait until I find one in a shop somewhere. Neck's a little skinny for my taste though I am not troubled by lack of truss rod if it works.

Call me superficial, but I have a hard time getting past the weird chrome ring on the soundhole and the truly atrocious typography on the headstock.

Dear All
I have worked on several of these Lava Me guitars No truss rod but the neck is straight and some have a little relief built into it very much like an Mcpherson touring It’s very well made and even the pickup design is very futuristic and when you plugged it in sounds very close to a Fishman Well made and most importantly it’s inexpensive If you travel a lot then this is a no brainer .. you don’t have to worry or manintain it at all Cheers JARVIS |

A better choice for comparison would be the low-price KLOS travel guitar... a decent little instrument to have something to play when travelling, but not the instrument you would choose for everyday tone or playability.
