Lava Me love? Looking at buying 1st CF guitar
The guitar I most often play is a 3/4 size Yamaha APX2T I bought for travel. Sounds pretty good considering under $200, and so easy to play. 23” scale. 1 1/2” width at the nut, 2” at the bridge. 2 3/4” deep.
So I’m thinking a better sounding small CF guitar might just be what I want for birthday coming up in February. My performance guitar is a Santa Cruz 00 Skye, but I don’t like dragging this very costly instrument around to swap meets, and children concerts. Travel is out of the question. So any of you playing the Lava Me 2? Also what other small CF guitars are in the same price range—-say $800? The Yamaha neck is a bit narrow for me, though I have small hands. Like the short scale. And with my shoulder complaints, love the thin body. Thoughts/recommendations? Thanks.

Check the specs, specifically the nut width. If that works for you, go for it. Sound was OK. Built in effects are cool.

Well I don’t want to hijack my own post, but I also met with Eric Skye at NAMM last year. I think his signature guitar from Santa Cruz is a situation where the instrument is more famous than the musician after whom the guitar was christened.
But I digress, Any LAVA ME lovers out there?
