Its Not Always A Happy Ending
One of my favorite adverts was one by Honda which said at Honda they don't use the word "OK" and instead they use the phrase "What If". I LOVED that advert and found it so inspiring. This is the premise of every guitar setup we undertake. If that means rejecting guitars and starting again - that is exactly what we do.
No Time To Watch the Videos? Here Is the Summary...
If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!) Richards Guitars offers a unique service offering the more discerning/knowledgeable buyer a host of "players benefits" which will ensure that ANY guitar purchased will give you years of enjoyment - regardless of the price paid.

LAVA ME 2 Future Evolution
We believe the future of the guitar can be better than the past. They should be lighter, more durable and easier to play, giving you more of what matters the most - Great Sound, without fear of climate change. This belief finally came true with the introduction of the LAVA ME 2.
Material and Soundboard Reinvented. From the inside out.
The revolutionary BreatheNet Honeycomb add a sense of hierarchy to your performance. Combining the strongest and most efficient mechanic structure with the acoustic simulation design. Each honeycomb has different height and thickness based on its mechanical function. It generates extraordinary sound even with just a slight pluck. The curved honeycomb structure keeps providing a sonorous and clear sound.
Super AirSonic
A new breakthrough for AirSonic carbon fiber composite: The Super AirSonic
Body material has the same weight as AirSonic but 20% Stronger. A thinner, lighter soundboard with a higher flexural modulas has been created, to produce a brighter, clearer sound.
The FlyNeck
The neck with parametric design. Give you an extraordinary playing experience. The idea behind FlyNeck was to design and build the most comfortable intuitive guitar neck possible. The structural geometry of the FlyNeck was achieved by tracking the different forces on the neck during the shifting of positions whilst playing the LAVA ME 2. We carefully designed the neck profile, adding or removing materials as necessary to ensure the FlyNeck would fit your individual playing style without you even noticing it.
The most advanced fret machining system, easy and comfortable to press.
The Plek PRO machine is the most advanced guitar fret machining system on the planet. Designed to ensure the best string action available, this state of the art process removes any potential intonation issues and allows the LAVA ME 2 to have an advanced level of playability and sound quality straight out of the box. After simultaneously scanning the surface of the fretboard whilst simulating the strings tension, it then cuts the frets with an accuracy of 0.01mm. Plek Pro's high accuracy cutting assists the LAVA ME 2 in achieving it's exceptional tone and comfortable playing position.
300% Stiffer. Always works for you.
LAVA MUSIC re-designed the neck structure of the LAVA ME 2 and reinforced it with 2 Ultra Stiff carbon fiber rods. This FlyNeck is 300% stiffer that the previous generation as a result, giving longer lasting durability and enhancing the overall playing experience.
The world’s leading unibody guitar. The revolutionary one-piece injection moulded technology.
LAVA MUSIC invented the first one-piece injection moulded LAVA ME guitar in 2017, revolutionising the design, materials used and manufacturing process of the modern guitar. This technology allows us to not only make the shape more comfortable to hold but also significantly reduce the use of glue, whilst retaining excellent levels of acoustic performance.
Works in all Conditions
Unlike wood, which tends to warp in changing weather conditions, the Super AirSonic carbon fiber body material of the LAVA ME 2, can adapt to changes in temperature from -20℃ to 90℃ and humidity of 10% - 90%. Whether you’re in a desert or polar region, the LAVA ME 2 will always work for you.
Introducing the L2 preamp system with Freeboost™ technology
Playing with effects without plugging into an amp.
The all new technology on the L2 preamp allows the back of the guitar to be utilised as a speaker. Turn on the preamp anywhere, anytime and play freely with built in Reverb, Delay and Chorus, all without the need for any cables or an amp.
Percussion effect
The L2 preamp now utilises a percussive sound receiving mic. It enhances and embellishes the percussive sounds created, with or without plugging in.
Ideal Bag
The size of Ideal Bag 2 is now 20% smaller than the first generation. The inside of the Ideal Bag 2 fits the LAVA ME 2 seamlessly, ensuring the safety & stability of the guitar at all times and is included with every purchase of the LAVA ME 2.
