Founded in 2013 by Lu Zitian (also known as Louis Luk) alongside co-founders Kayeung So and Shin Tang, Lava Music is a guitar and music technology company headquartered in Guangdong, China. The company emerged from the founders' time studying at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, with a mission to bring modern materials and digital technology to acoustic instruments. Lava Music is best known for pioneering the use of carbon fiber in guitar construction, introducing the LAVA ME in 2017 as the first unibody carbon fiber guitar, built with the company's proprietary AirSonic composite material.

The product lineup spans carbon fiber and spruce-top acoustic-electric guitars, ukuleles, and digital instruments. The LAVA ME series — including the ME 3, ME 4, ME Air, and ME Play — features built-in effects processing, and the higher-end models incorporate touchscreen interfaces running the company's HILAVA operating system. The LAVA U is a carbon fiber ukulele line, while the LAVA GENIE is a stringless, foldable sampler shaped like a guitar body, designed for beat-making and loop performance using a touch-sensitive interface with hundreds of instrument presets. The company also produces the LAVA STUDIO, a smart amplifier.

Lava Music has earned multiple international design awards, including recognition from the Industrial Designers Society of America, Red Dot, and iF Design. The company holds over 100 patents related to its instruments and materials. Notable players include Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess, who has used the LAVA ME 3, and guitarist Mateus Asato, who has performed with the LAVA ME.

Lava Music has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Acoustic-Electric Guitars and Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Pop. Notable users include Jordan Rudess, Steve Terryberry, and Andrew Baena.
