Excellent guitar, impeccable finish, maybe some string adjustments to make it more comfortable to play, the hyvibe... system is amazing, endless possibilities but it still needs some adjustments and this is very easy to solve through some updates via app, I'm very happy with the purchase and I recommend it to several friends.
if you haven't bought it yet, just buy it now and try it, I'm sure you won't regret it!!read more

Wow, just wow! Within three days after placing the order i recieved my guitar. In between was a really good mail... contact with the COO who let me choose my guitar (thanks again Matt).
It‘s probably the most beautifull guitar i‘ve ever held in my hands. But what it can do is of a different world. The electronics are really easy to handle because it‘s so intuitive, the plain sound is great and everything works perfectly.
I love it, every aspect if the guitar, the idea behind it and the whole experience of buying one.
Keep up the great work lads!read more

From my first contact I have been pleased with HyVibe. I asked a question about shipping on the chat on their home... page. I got an answer in just a few minutes. What they told me happened exactly. It took four days to arrive at my home in Arkansas. It shipped from France. During shipping Matt Volsky contacted me to assure me that shipping was on schedule and asked if there was anything he could do for me. Matt is the COO at HyVibe. How many COOs get involved directly with customers?
My new guitar came very well protected in a nice box. The hard case included with the guitar is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
I was extremely pleased when I opened the case and laid eyes on my new guitar. This guitar is beautiful. The detail and workmanship is outstanding. Every piece of this guitar is top notch. Nothing is overlooked. It’s fantastic.
It has a great sound without the electronics. It can easily stand on its own as a standard guitar.
Now my favorite part. The HyVibe system. I’m 69 years old and not very computer savvy. I was able to figure the HyVibe system out in about an hour. This system is a blast to play with. It performs everything without any issues. The sound produced by the HyVibe system is second to none.
Put all the features of this guitar together with a company that provides great customer service and you’ve got a winner.
This is easily my favorite guitar of all time.
Thank you HyVibe for your caring support and a fantastic guitar.

Best system and guitare ever ! I have almost 10 guitars and, since I got my Lâg Hyvibe, it is the only one I play - the... looper is just an amazing feature - no need to connect guitars, loopers pedals etc. Just pick it up and play ! As one photograph said: the best camera is the one you have with you. Same for this guitar, so easy to play that you can really fully express what's in the air :-)read more

The guitar itself is a work of art, but that is just part of it. The built-in effects etc. are just another bonus. This... guitar has rekindled my passion to play. I ordered from Matt at HyVibe in France and my guitar arrived in Hawaii 5 days later! There is quite a time difference between France and Hawaii, but when I opened the chat feature on the website Matt responded within 5 minutes to answer some questions for me. All in all this is a quality guitar with incredible features and the customer service is A+ all the way!read more

This is the best product I have ever purchased. It shipped from France to Seattle in four days! The company was in... contact with me everyday from the day I purchased it to the day it arrived. As far as customer service goes, it doesn’t get better than this.
The guitar is even better looking in real life. The playability is great right out of the box. The action in the lower frets was low just how I like it, but the action gradually got higher in the upper frets. It’s very playable as is, but I might just make some minor truss rod adjustments to bring the action a bit lower for the upper frets.
I got the base model with the satin red cedar top, it’s beautiful and feels very well made.
The HyVibe technology is incredible! I loved playing guitar before buying the HyVibe, but now I can’t put it down and it’s the only thing I want to do all day everyday. For me, this is the greatest invention since the smart phone.
With the looper, I can play the guitar part and the bass part of my favorite songs using the built-in octave effect. I can also change the effect from octave to delay to cut in some lead solos while the loop plays in the back. It sounds incredible unplugged and even better plugged in. There is so much fun and experimenting to be had with this guitar.
I will never purchase another acoustic without the HyVibe system in it. I’m also a fan of Lag guitars now and will probably buy them exclusively from now on. The build quality, playability, sound, customer service, price point, and overall design can’t be beat.
My old acoustic rarely got played because I quickly ditched it for my electric...but now it’s my electric that has been collecting dust because I can’t put the HyVibe down.
I also am very grateful that the company is constantly working to improve the software to add more effects and optimize the system. It is clear to me that this is a great company that wants to hear and respond to their customers feedback, which is almost nonexistent nowadays.
Like I stated earlier, this is the best product I have ever purchased. Get one today!read more

Along with this groundbreaking technology, I would like to mention a couple of things. I placed an order for my Lâg... HyVibe THV30DCE and was told it would take a week to receive. Delivery came in ONLY 4 DAYS! I was blown away by its beauty.....the exotic wood is absolutely gorgeous and the workmanship is excellent. But more importantly, it sounds fabulous. AND, it plays like a dream....even when I bend notes. I also appreciate that the company was quick to respond to all questions I had.
If you are thinking about buying one of their guitars, I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!!! 👍👍read more

Been playing off and on over 40 years and I am truly impressed with my HyVibe guitar. I bought this one after watching... a lot of YouTube videos on it. I figured it was a little risky to buy before playing but not one regret. It is all that everyone is talking about. It took just under a week to receive. Excellent customer support via their website. Big shout out to Matt who even offered to give a personal tutorial on using it but honestly there's a lot of fun ahead for anyone that just figures it out. The app really unlocks a lot of sound ideas. Plenty of cool videos on youtube that are helpful.
So here's the skinny. First of all its a really nice acoustic that plays well and sounds great. I have Taylors and have had Martins, this guitar sounds fantastic. I was a little concerned about it being made in China but that all faded upon inspection and playing it. It is nicely built and finished.
What I really like is how it is changing the way I play. I don't do bands and have always just played for my own fun and escape. Instead of getting lost in running through different songs or licks, I find myself using the looper and metronome to lay tracks, then get busy playing with myself (LOL) in pursuit of cleaning up mistakes. Since all effects are built in, it makes playing so much easier, so I end up playing more than ever.
Very happy with it.read more

Hyvibe THV30 DCE
What a great guitar really well made and the built in effects / Looper make it a very versatile... guitar
To be honest I was sceptical and did think it was a bit of a gimmick but wow this is a serious piece of kit and the ability just to pick it up without having to connect to amp or pedals is great
The App is really intuitive love how you can assign the slider on the guitar to a parameter drag and change the order of the effects in the chain etc
I actually plug it into a modelling amp yeah it sort of defeats the purpose of the intended use but it sounds fantastic
It’s a nice guitar well made and balanced! Nice Mid’s Nice High’s and not to heavy on the lows without doubt competes with the well known high end brands for sure
My only gripe would be I feel a little anxious when I put it on charge and rest it on my guitar stand just got a feeling the charger plug will get snapped off at some point shame it wasn’t in a more convenient location but I understand it makes sense to combine it all in one unit
Nice Work Lag/HyVibe I think you might be on a winnerread more

It took just a week to get my Lâg HyVibe THV30DCE. I got it yesterday. I love this guitar so far.
Use the provided... charger. I was using a charger I already had and it wouldn't power up. It worked instantly when I plugged in the provided charger as suggested by Matt. There are warnings in the manual about not using the provided charger.
The firmware was automatically upgraded when I connected the Android app with my Google Pixel 2 XL (old phone). So, I didn't have to use a cable and PC to upgrade the firmware as stated in the manual. I don't have the proper USB A to C cable and a cable is on the way courtesy of Support.
I have been having fun playing acoustic songs/parts using Rocksmith. This guitar can be plugged into an amp, so it works with Rocksmith. You can use the Rocksmith song tones or just mute the sound and use only the guitar tone with or without effects. You don't need to know the notes and chords when playing Rocksmith. You can play a song you've never heard before.
I have two electric guitars and bought my first guitar 9 years ago when Rocksmith first came out. This is my first acoustic guitar and I bought it for the smart features.
Acoustic guitars are very different from electric guitars, but I have already been enjoying playing this guitar with and without effects and with and without Rocksmith. I never really learned songs by memory because of Rocksmith, but I intend to do more traditional learning with this guitar which will help with my electric guitar playing and work to not rely on Rocksmith.
I prefer the more comfortable form factor and cut out edge on my Solar Guitars electric V guitar compared to this acoustic guitar, but the much lighter weight of the acoustic guitar makes up for that. I was playing the guitar standing up, laying down on the couch, sitting up in my recliner, and in my inclined bed yesterday. I'll be learning and playing along with YouTube videos when not playing with Rocksmith.read more

Enjoying my purchase greatly ... I saw a review of the HyVibe LaG with Justin Johnson ... had to have one!
maybe it’s... only a small thing not having to plug into an amp or effects pedals, however, it’s absolutely great to pick up the guitar and have the emphasis there on top ... The quality of the guitar is fantastic, the electronics are worth the cost of guitar
And then on top of this, it’s a really impressive bluetooth speaker
I had some difficulties as a non tech 72 year old, stunningly, I had them resolved instantly online by the HyVibe support team ... Wow! a manufacturer doing something about resolving customers needs straightaway
What’s not to like here!
Sincerely, this very special guitar is a keeperread more

I've had my LagHyvibe for about a week now and there is no turning back for me. The build and quality of tone is... excellent. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The battery life is great, charged it once and still on that charge. The sound quality and decibel level the guitar produces is actually surprisingly strong. I've made great use of playing a song via Bluetooth, adding a loop with effect, and lead with separate effect. This guitar is also very comfortable and just looks stunning. I very well might purchase another.read more

This Guitar is just amazing! Firstible, the lag guitars are very great to play and have a a rich and powerful sound.... And the job Hyvibde made on it is just perfect! The effects sound great, you can easily build your own via the app. And you feel so much joy to play with your acoustic guitar, and add a reverb, a delay, or an octaver and feel the vibrations directly on your body! You can easily feel your fingers modify the effect : it's alive! And finally they have a great team, they're answering very fast if you have some questions. Congrats to Hyvibe !read more

Ma HyVibe guitare me permet notamment de jouer sans sonorisation extérieure, avec des effets, certains déjà bons,... d’autres qui vont le devenir à n’en pas douter.
Pour le jeu en voyage, en balade, à la maison, en acoustique c’est vraiment super et ceci sans parler du looper. Alors là c’est du top....
Je n’ai pas encore utilisé les autre possibilités de la guitare, l’écoute Bluetooth de la musique par guitare... je prends du temps pour la dompter!!!!
Merci HyVibe...

Acheté il y a 1 an a sa sortie.
Après avoir essayé la thv10 et 20 j’ai finalement pris une thv30.
La nouvelle mise à... jour comble tout ce qui pouvait manquer à cette guitare.
C’est le top.
Cependant je regrette le volume trop faible du métronome dans le looper même après réglage depuis l’onglet métronome.
Il serait bien également de pouvoir louper plusieurs boucles. Ça ça serait le top.
Également un groupe FB ou autre ou l’on pourrait échanger nos paramètres fx serait encore un +
C’est une superbe guitare que je recommande.read more

Well, I enjoyed this guitar very much: no need for a separate effect, looper or loudspeaker to have fun on your own on... holidays and such. But urgently: you have like 7 Gb of space (in the guitars memory). Saving and retrieving loops from the guitar itself is possible ( I saw a Spanish YT-clip on the subject): just do it and give/let us pay for it. And working together with the makers of “Trio Band Creator + Looper” would be worth while. It is sometimes difficult to “match” the metronome (the volume ?) with my playing, which is never a problem with “Trio”, which adapts itself to my playing. But nevertheless: wonderfull what you did for the acoustic guitar. Unbelievable sound and renovation. Thank you for that. Well... honestly....praise you for that 🙃😇.read more

At 60 years in the business this year, I have played (and still playing) many, many guitars.
Recently acquired The Lag... HyVibe and having a lot of fun, both at home and at local sessions and venues where an amp would not be in keeping, so the facilities of the effects really come into their own right and not only add to the backing but the confusion of onlookers!
Have, so far, only dabbled with the looper but can see potential, likewise the ability to play backing tracks, rhythm machine through Bluetooth, and the ability to use them along with effects (hopefully an additional facility in the near future) would be fantastic.
As guitars, nowadays, tends to be only one of the instruments I play, I certainly will get a lot of use (and pleasure) from it and would certainly recommend both the guitar (I like Lag guitars even though my main instruments are carbon fibre) and the addition of the HyVibe system makes them stand out even further from the crowd, to guitarist for the quality and sound.
I look forward to many years of fun and hopefully additions to the system to open up further exploration into an acoustic guitar with that extra special something.read more
