Last night I had a dream. I played what I’d call the best guitar ever. It was black and had an odd design like this, only with a compressible/foldable guitar neck. Weird I know. Then I check RUclips and I see this. 😳
This video is an ad for the guitar, it's a 13 minute commercial. The guitar company paid to have it promoted in people's recommendations. See the "#ad" above the video title?
This is an example of companies replicating the Tonewood Amp with it already built into the guitar. If you haven't heard about it, you should check it out.
@@allwegot2373 I think this is cool, but having the Tonewood is so much better then this. Much more control over reverb actions, diff types of verb, delay , wah, chourus or distortion, leslie, and tremolo... all while being able to D.I. out of, and having individual DI settings... Not to mention, you actually get to play a REALLY nice guitar with it. Don't mistake this, I DO think the guitar is super cool, but relegated to a 'travel' guitar since it's small and durable.
@@EnormousDaisey77 I'll look into it Edit: so... Took just a quick look and I'm already in the no's. Could be a much better guitar, for all I know.. but, not spending that much on one. Tad too expensive. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I'm going to go right down to mug tomorrow and Test 1 I've been a customer 4 30 years Bruce and the boys are the coolest if you ever come to Gothenburg Sweden check them out thank you for this
Stumbled here by accident, didn't get the joke. Finally being so intrigued I inquired who it was after reading some comments.... Had to come back to honor this great dad joke!
7:10 Hey there pretty lady won’t you marry my dad you’re the perfect match, I think he’d make you laugh Please do it cus I want a mom so bad Mom so ba- I WANT A MOM LIKE THAT A MOM LIKE YOU CUS THE PAST MOMS I’VE HAD Never see it through You could be the one who stays (Thank you son, I’m proud of you. I’ll take it from here.) My boy is right, I’ve been all alone Just a father and son in a broken home I’ll leave my card at the end of the song If you’d like to take a date to the Duck and Waffle, yeah
Finally...an acoustic guitar that won't eat your pick. And even if it does, all you have to do is tilt it so that the pick goes to the sound hole's corner. No more shaking it until the pick ends up at the center!
The carbon fibre guitar sounds great....but I think a large part of that is the person who is playing. You make it sound fantastic! Glad I found this channel.
Tried to motivate my daughter (5years old) to learn an instrument. Showed several videos with different instruments to her. But it was your video which convinced her the most. She absolutely wants to learn to play guitar. 🙂
Have you (and her) considered lesser known instruments? I play the Kravik lyre, and the hurdy gurdy is great for inspiring new people because its spnonteresting and unique.
As someone who was convinced (more like forced) by my parents to play an instrument, if she ends up wanting to stop, *let her*. Please. I am horribly depressed specifically because of being forced to play an instrument that I hate for 9 years. And don't try to force hour long practices on her. If she enjoys the instrument she will practice well and get better on her own, forcing her to practice endlessly so that she's a child prodigy makes playing the instrument a chore and tells her that you don't actually want her to play the instrument for anything but your amusement and so you can use her talent for your own self esteem boost. Thank you :) Sincerely, An experienced depressed person.
For an accoustic/electric it's really not bad. Amazon has them for $700, which is a relative bargain compared to what you can spend on new guitars that don't have a lot of the perks that this does.
It's $800. That's extremely affordable as far as quality guitars go, especially for something unique like this. It's about as much as a mid-range Epiphone or Fender Stratocaster. If you're seriously looking to purchase a nice guitar but you're also on a budget, then you're probably looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000. Of course you can go cheaper or more expensive, but that price range is pretty typical.
The stronger/harder the material used to build an acoustic instrument, the better it will resonate and typically sound too. When Stradivarius was making his famous violins 300 some years ago, the world was going though what was called the "little ice age". It was so cold on several years the River Thames froze so thick Londoners would have a winter fair/festival with huge crowds on the river complete with shops, pubs and even fair rides. That long period of bitter cold made all the trees back then grow VERY slowly with incredibly tight growth rings and wood grain, making the wood much more dense and hard helping those violins sound even more amazing.
@@macgyver5108 To buy into your theory you have to believe the following: 1)that there was a mini ice age during the 30 to 50 year period before Antonio began building producing his instruments; 2) that trees in this vicinity were affected by mini ice age and resultingly had a slower growth rate 3) That the slower growth rate resulted in denser wood, 4) that Antonio sourced his lumber from those trees 5) and that the denser wood is responsible for the superb sound of his instruments. That's what we in the science field call theory stacking.
@@guckertott 1: Stradivarius examples were made starting in the 1680s, and his "Long Pattern" from 1690 to 1700... the "little ice age" started around 1450-1500 at the _latest_ and lasted into the 1800's. If your math sucks, that's almost 190 _years_ before he even got started, last I checked Spruce trees typically don't live that long Archimedes. 2: WHY would he use _Spruce_ that grew in Italy? Wait do Spruce even GROW in Italy??? And why would a good Luthier ("violin maker" for the lay...) source the "right wood" to make a "competitive" violin and the _best wood_ like _Alpine Spruce_ to make a masterpiece from a tree that doesn't even grow in ITALY??? 3: slow growing trees equals limited growth and more density, see your mirror for a pictorial example. 4: see 2 5: Google it... YT hates people posting hyperlinks to prove things. There's diver's that ply the depths of the Great Lakes between the US and Canada LOOKING for these dense growth ring old growth logs that sank 300 some years ago on their way to old sawmills, they charge an astronomical price per square "cubic inch" for that old wood. Again, Google why you make subwoofer boxes out of dense MDF vs cardboard.

This comment was perfect! I literally thought I'd be done after I bought my tele, then I needed a Taylor and I thought I was done, now I'm watching this 😂
I love the way you’re responding to this guitar. Spontaneous and genuine, as your mind imagines what you could do with those amazing sounds. It is a pretty incredible guitar. And you’re the right person to showcase its tonal potential. Thanks for the cool vid.
My guess would be giving a thumbs down to the frequent ADS which disrupt the video. She made a good vid but commercials every 2 1/2 minutes keep people from enjoying it. Like an unexpected poke in the eye just when you're getting into it!
only problem is an asshole named anish kapoor reserved the rights to use it. Look up Stuart Semple Black 2.0 and 3.0 for super black paint that everyone can buy.
It would seem the world is ending but listening to you play...it’s so good and relaxing. In this moment it feels like all is well. Cool guitar also ; )
I've watched this video multiple times now, and it almost - comes within a razor's edge - persuades me to spend the money to get one. For an inept hobby guitarist, it would be hugely expensive, but "small," "light," "carbon fiber," "built-in FX" are all magical terms. Then add that there are common effects built right into it… well… it's hard to resist.
Luh Well, here in Argentina one dollar is equivalent to 120 pesos, And my salary is about 70k pesos. So its a no-go. Ah and you have to add shipping costs and another 50% due to customs taxes.
Yeah, but to put that into perspective, I'm primarily a trombonist; a professional trombone that's worth a damn is going to start at $2,500 or more. And trombones, like guitars, vary in tone depending on what you're using them for. I play a King 2B for jazz, big band and rock - about 2,600 dollars new - and Conn 88H for orchestral, concert band or trombone choir - that one's almost 3 grand. So when I added guitar to my repertoire, I was delighted by how affordable it was.
@@onemondaynight Sure thing, but if you are a discerning experienced musician you will come to the conclusion that at the end of the road no brand can offer you a working tool as one made specifically for you with your specs. Its either you do it or you commission one. But no big brand ever delivers a high quality tool.
It's actually hard to tell whether this guitar sounds good because frankly everything sounds (and looks) good on your channel hence it ain't easy to establish a baseline. :-) I feel it does, though.
This is the first carbon fiber guitar I've heard that I actually enjoy the sound of. Nice! And as far as the pricing of instruments go, I was surprised at how low this costs.
@@LordChimi Not a band you dumbass its called improvisation she is making it up on the spot but you keep believing that every song has to be pre made by a band...
@@stonedsavage7814 jesus christ your toxic the dude just wants to know if there is a band who made it so he can look them up and enjoy their music fuckin hell
My cousin Fred was blinded at a Meryle Haggard concert when a lazer light Beamed off of Waylon's pick guard. It hit this chick in her face n she toppled off this guy. Landed right on fred. Popped his eyes right out.. Was interviewed by National Enquirer but didn't make the print. The venue paid off the editor and switched to LED instead of laser shows.
BTW, I think this guitar looks really beautiful, I have nothing against matte finishes. That said, when you are playing your instrument, you shine, and there's no denying it. I love a shiny instrument, on stage, catching the light, bringing focus to the artist who is putting themselves out there. Of course, this is a tongue-in-cheek comment, but as Eric Bibb said, "You've got to shine on."
It would smash very easily. Carbon fiber is not exceptionally strong, it's exceptionally strong for it's weight. It also isn't the best material for impacts. I have drones made from carbon fiber, the frames 5mm thicker or greater. I could snap it with my hands without much difficulty. The reason it is used is due to weight. Lower weight means less power needed for flight, and less inertia, lending to better control and less chance of damage in an impact. My discuss launch gliders also have carbon fiber, and are very sturdy, but light weight. I could still snap it like a twig. Another example is carbon fiber frames for bicycles. Very rigid and light, but if an object were to hit the frame directly, you'd crack it.
Not more than I do in a traditional soundhole by just having a lazy grip on my picks!! :-P. ( I think it'd be easier to shake the pick out of that top hole - since the effects module is right up against the top, and you aren't fighting to shake a pick through 6 strings! )
That said, I'm not so convinced on the overall body/sound of the guitar... The effects seem like a gimmick to make up for the sorta hollow/lack-of-warmth fullness of sound. It's like a couple steps up from the sound of a Martin "backpacker" guitar, and then they added the built in battery pack with verb and chorus... Still, for ~$800 it's really not bad. Just depends on what you need it for. I can see this working well for buskers, and ppl that just want to travel light and solo jam, etc.
@@vaprex it's pretty easy tbh what I do is get is in the centre of the hole and then flip it quickly upside down if it doesnt fall out it should be close to just wiggle it a lil

I saw this white spot and I'm like, "What? Does my monitor have a dead pixel?" ::change in camera angle:: "Nope. Damn, I can't un-see that now." Bothered me the whole vid = P
I bought one after watching ths video. Ive had it for quite a while now. I never pick up my Martin, or my Rickenbacer. It is always "right there" When I hear a song and I wanna fiure it out" or play along I grab the Lava. So its funny looking. WHo aint? I had gotten burnt out on guitar. It was stale. I have been playing since 65. Yes I should be bettter. But this Lava takes me back to when It was New and Fun. Yes FUN. Its always fun. Good video Mary.
I am there at the playing for ages but not grtting anywhere. Looking to try these out fingers crossed. That said I have gone back to trying to record in cubase pro and using You Tube came across various videos that got me fired upa gain.. ...
Tried one today. The sound and feel put me almost in a meditative state of mind. I usually find steelstringed guitars’ string tension hard on my fingers, but this one was very comfortable for my dry, semi-old fingers. Money will be steered in this direction, when it (the money🔭) shows up.
I like what they did with the sound hole. It reminds me of something I read about violins, that you get more power out of the instrument by increasing the perimeter of the sound hole, but you also get more power if you can keep a larger surface area on the face of the instrument. A longer, skinnier sound hole maximizes both of those things. Finally, putting it where they did keeps your hand from blocking it, so you'll always get full sound when you're playing acoustic.
Can we have layup / matrix / fibre details...? Or is that proprietary? Also can I have a job designing these please? I'm pretty keen on guitars and currently working on a PhD in advanced composite manufacturing 😊 Hook a brother up? 😁
That guitar sounds amazing. Keep in mind that while carbon fiber is incredibly strong, it is not indestructible. Mary, I am curious, does it stays in tune better than a guitar made out of wood?
If you treat it with the same respect as any other guitar, it will sure seem indestructible. But yeah, put it in the hands of a four-year-old and it probably won't survive long.
Even better than the guitar, I enjoyed watching you enjoying your own playing..... like the music was just falling out of your fingers and you were a spectator like me. That is real talent.

Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? She was authentic, honest, and didn't sound like a commercial.
some people supports Trump.. so I expect stupidity from humans
@@manoelramon8283 what a stupid response
@@manoelramon8283 the fact, that you think trump is evil, doesn't mean he actually is
My guess would be giving a thumbs down to the frequent ADS which disrupt the video. She made a good vid but commercials every 2 1/2 minutes keep people from enjoying it. Like an unexpected poke in the eye just when you're getting into it!
Maybe becoz it Isn't affordable for everyone
7:10 that tune’s *spicyyyyy*

They should come out with a vanta-black version... "none more blacker carbon fiber edition"
Could eliminate need for an obvious sound hole on that version as well!
only problem is an asshole named anish kapoor reserved the rights to use it. Look up Stuart Semple Black 2.0 and 3.0 for super black paint that everyone can buy.

"I'll have what she's having."
I've watched this video multiple times now, and it almost - comes within a razor's edge - persuades me to spend the money to get one. For an inept hobby guitarist, it would be hugely expensive, but "small," "light," "carbon fiber," "built-in FX" are all magical terms. Then add that there are common effects built right into it… well… it's hard to resist.
My brain: I need to stop buying stuff
Me: BUT A CARBON FIBRE GUITAR WOULD LOOK AWESOME AT A GIG
My wallet: Aw crap, 'ere we go again
You need to get a wallet with a mute button :-)
Imagine having a carbon fiber BASS
Checkout this very funny story from Guy Pratt regarding carbon graphite basses ... ruclips.net/video/egLZfqyu-pg/видео.html
Davie 504 will automatically buy it heheehhe Davie 504 will buy it sooner
EPICO!
Slapp like NOW on this comment.
i've used carbon fibre bass before, and holy moly theyre amazing. so light and no issues with sustain at all
"It looks expensive"
$1,399
.....that's because it is expensive.
she's showing the LAVA ME 2 wich costs $799.
Imagine living in a country where it costs 5 times more... It's just absurd.
But...very beautiful and well made instrument.
Luh Well, here in Argentina one dollar is equivalent to 120 pesos, And my salary is about 70k pesos. So its a no-go. Ah and you have to add shipping costs and another 50% due to customs taxes.
Yeah, but to put that into perspective, I'm primarily a trombonist; a professional trombone that's worth a damn is going to start at $2,500 or more. And trombones, like guitars, vary in tone depending on what you're using them for. I play a King 2B for jazz, big band and rock - about 2,600 dollars new - and Conn 88H for orchestral, concert band or trombone choir - that one's almost 3 grand. So when I added guitar to my repertoire, I was delighted by how affordable it was.
@@onemondaynight Sure thing, but if you are a discerning experienced musician you will come to the conclusion that at the end of the road no brand can offer you a working tool as one made specifically for you with your specs. Its either you do it or you commission one. But no big brand ever delivers a high quality tool.
It's actually hard to tell whether this guitar sounds good because frankly everything sounds (and looks) good on your channel hence it ain't easy to establish a baseline. :-) I feel it does, though.
That’s because her tone is in her hands, I think
Such a strange but beatiful guitar. BTW, what is that song on 7:10? Anyone knows what it is?!
And nice video, girl, u're awesome!
Roniel Alves I wanna know the same!
This is the first carbon fiber guitar I've heard that I actually enjoy the sound of. Nice! And as far as the pricing of instruments go, I was surprised at how low this costs.
Please make a cover of 7:04 this!! I really love it's rhythm.

Be honest, you imagine playing in front of your friends with this guitar.
I was kinda put off by the look initially. But then you hit the on switch, what an awesome sound!
Great Vid!
Yeah not too thrilled with the aesthetic. Sounded its best when plugged in, very nice.
Ya. Me too. I guess it is an acquired taste kind of "situation". Hey, with enough time, I'll bet Mary could find ME attractive! ;-)

"I like matte finish on guitars, so, you know, they don't shine."
How dare you.
Shiny finishes tend to stick to me when I perform. Humans sweat. Not all of us like to stick to and peel off our instrument.
My cousin Fred was blinded at a Meryle Haggard concert when a lazer light Beamed off of Waylon's pick guard. It hit this chick in her face n she toppled off this guy. Landed right on fred. Popped his eyes right out.. Was interviewed by National Enquirer but didn't make the print. The venue paid off the editor and switched to LED instead of laser shows.
I like matte finishes...
BTW, I think this guitar looks really beautiful, I have nothing against matte finishes. That said, when you are playing your instrument, you shine, and there's no denying it. I love a shiny instrument, on stage, catching the light, bringing focus to the artist who is putting themselves out there. Of course, this is a tongue-in-cheek comment, but as Eric Bibb said, "You've got to shine on."
Good luck with smashing that guitar to pieces at the end of a concert.
Townshend would be ashamed.
It would smash very easily. Carbon fiber is not exceptionally strong, it's exceptionally strong for it's weight. It also isn't the best material for impacts. I have drones made from carbon fiber, the frames 5mm thicker or greater. I could snap it with my hands without much difficulty. The reason it is used is due to weight. Lower weight means less power needed for flight, and less inertia, lending to better control and less chance of damage in an impact. My discuss launch gliders also have carbon fiber, and are very sturdy, but light weight. I could still snap it like a twig.
Another example is carbon fiber frames for bicycles. Very rigid and light, but if an object were to hit the frame directly, you'd crack it.
I can see myself losing many picks in that soundhole while upstroking 😂
Not more than I do in a traditional soundhole by just having a lazy grip on my picks!! :-P. ( I think it'd be easier to shake the pick out of that top hole - since the effects module is right up against the top, and you aren't fighting to shake a pick through 6 strings! )
That said, I'm not so convinced on the overall body/sound of the guitar... The effects seem like a gimmick to make up for the sorta hollow/lack-of-warmth fullness of sound. It's like a couple steps up from the sound of a Martin "backpacker" guitar, and then they added the built in battery pack with verb and chorus... Still, for ~$800 it's really not bad. Just depends on what you need it for. I can see this working well for buskers, and ppl that just want to travel light and solo jam, etc.
@@vaprex it's pretty easy tbh what I do is get is in the centre of the hole and then flip it quickly upside down if it doesnt fall out it should be close to just wiggle it a lil
@@vaprex And you can just grab the pick off the effects box, cos you don't have strings in the way of your fingers.
@@emilyadams3228 Yeah, that's what it looked like to me. Kinda nice...and I'd guess less frantic shaking. :-)

Hey there pretty lady would you marry my dad?
@@TheParadoxCreator 😅
I bought one after watching ths video. Ive had it for quite a while now. I never pick up my Martin, or my Rickenbacer. It is always "right there" When I hear a song and I wanna fiure it out" or play along I grab the Lava. So its funny looking. WHo aint? I had gotten burnt out on guitar. It was stale. I have been playing since 65. Yes I should be bettter. But this Lava takes me back to when It was New and Fun. Yes FUN. Its always fun. Good video Mary.
Damn thats pretty cool to hear
I am there at the playing for ages but not grtting anywhere. Looking to try these out fingers crossed. That said I have gone back to trying to record in cubase pro and using You Tube came across various videos that got me fired upa gain..
...
Have u put bronze acoustic strings on it or just sterl electric strings. Wondering if acoustic bronze would work or how they would sound.
@@danielrains2055 She has on bronze in the video, so I am assuming they work on it quite well lol.
Does the built-in microphone pick up body sounds like taps and slaps? I like to add bits of guitar percussion when looping.
Embrace your Heavy Metal side, Mary... Lets your voice loose.
Yeah, give your life over to belial!
More like lose your voice
@@autofocus4556 not with the right technique
Sounds great. Can we get a video of just you playing this for an hour? It was so good.
Tried one today. The sound and feel put me almost in a meditative state of mind. I usually find steelstringed guitars’ string tension hard on my fingers, but this one was very comfortable for my dry, semi-old fingers. Money will be steered in this direction, when it (the money🔭) shows up.
7:15 did you come up with the on the spot?
It's soo good
The 1975 - If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)
I like what they did with the sound hole. It reminds me of something I read about violins, that you get more power out of the instrument by increasing the perimeter of the sound hole, but you also get more power if you can keep a larger surface area on the face of the instrument. A longer, skinnier sound hole maximizes both of those things. Finally, putting it where they did keeps your hand from blocking it, so you'll always get full sound when you're playing acoustic.
10:05 what song is that?
darude sandstorm
I think she's just improvising
It's the building music for the Sims

U are legally obligated to marry value selects dad now, sorry.
That guitar sounds amazing. Keep in mind that while carbon fiber is incredibly strong, it is not indestructible. Mary, I am curious, does it stays in tune better than a guitar made out of wood?
If you treat it with the same respect as any other guitar, it will sure seem indestructible. But yeah, put it in the hands of a four-year-old and it probably won't survive long.
I have a few Rainsongs and they do stay in tune better generally.
Humidity shouldn't effect it at all, a big bonus if you ask me.
I'm very, very impressed by how it sounds. Kind of mind-blowing actually! Love it.
I love 7:01 - 8:15. Very calming. Well done
I can’t even play the guitar and yet I want one of these
$700. Honestly that's a pretty good value for what you're getting here.
Carbon fiber, gotta have the money for it
That was 700$? Jeeze.... Sounds terrible I wouldn't pay 70$ for it.
THIS seems like a nice couch guitar for composing music with or to bring anywhere :-) nice one, thanks!
Even better than the guitar, I enjoyed watching you enjoying your own playing..... like the music was just falling out of your fingers and you were a spectator like me. That is real talent.
