LR Baggs

collapse expand iconDescription

The LR Baggs Element Active System VTC undersaddle acoustic pickup delivers performance previously unattainable from an undersaddle pickup. The streamlined and efficient design removes every unnecessary internal component to improve the coupling between the transducer and the guitar. This substantially improves the sensitivity of the transducer so the acoustic guitar pickup delivers a robust, lively, and open sound with great dynamics and a delicate high end.

The LR Baggs Element Active System pairs the Element undersaddle transducer with a pre-contoured all-discrete class A endpin preamp and includes small, removable soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls (VTC) for added convenience and versatility. The entire pickup system is designed to install easily and features plug-and-play performance. Also included with the acoustic pickup system is LR Bagg's Battery Bagg for secure storage.

    This is the 4th piezo pickup model/type/brand I have installed on acoustic guitars that I have built. This one in particular was for a nylon string silent guitar. First I installed a passive undersaddle Fishman and used the L.R. Baggs DI as preamp. The response was underwhelming and the noise level was too high in my opinion. This pickup was the perfect choice. Paired with the DI/preamp it rocks! Highly recommended!

    its a non-intrusive, non-destructive invisible way to amplify a vintage Gibson Hummingbird to use live on stage with out a mic.

    I had this pickup put in my Taylor 412 r . It sounds great and has tone and volume. I also bought one for my 522 limited edition Taylor but the bracing made it difficult to mount the tone and volume controls.

  • Love the new sound my acoustic puts out, easy & affordable
