The Lava Music x Chemist Creations collaborative guitar embraces minimalism

Lava Music has unveiled the next evolution of its innovative Lava ME 2 electro acoustic guitar design with a new collaboration with streetwear brand Chemist Creations. 

The result is a guitar that blends aesthetic minimalism with cutting edge features, including a soundboard made from Lava's AirCarbon material – carbon fibre layers in a honeycomb structure.

The onboard preamp features FreeBoost technology – similar to what we've seen from Yamaha's Transacoustic models, allowing reverb, chorus and delay without needing to plug the guitar in. 

Accessories included with the guitar are a designer style Idea bag, strap and picks.

The Lava Music x Chemical Creations collaboration is available for $899 directly online at lavamusic.com and chemist-creations.com now.
