Just after forming Lava Cable, Mark deployed to Afghanistan with a U.S. Army Special Forces Battalion. Excited about getting his business up and running, he took a roll of Canare GS-6 into combat with him, making cables for his fellow soldiers and the local Morale, Welfare and Recreation center in his off-time.
By January 2006, Mark added 12 more brands of cable to his line up - bringing more than 80% of the world's instrument cable designs into his shop, making Lava Cable unique among cable manufacturers. From closely examining all these different cables Mark created his own brand of guitar cables and plugs: Lava.
Since its inception, the purpose of Lava Cable has been to develop and produce innovative cable and accessory products for Music Industry using U.S. manufacturers and the best metals, materials and plug designs to provide its customers with a good-better-best solution for their cable needs.
Many of these product designs have significantly improved upon existing concepts, such as the Lava Solder Free Pedal Board system and the Clear Connect cable.
Lava Cable both educates its customers about the importance of quality cables and provides detailed information about each product so customers can make an informed buying decision.During its' seven years of existence, Lava Cable has introduced more than 25 new cable and accessory products to the Music Industry. Lava Cable products have now been sold in more than 70 countries and more than 350 stores in 30 countries stock its products.

The following is a reply from Lava Cable to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
