Description

Common undersaddle pickups depend on string attacks to directly compress the sensors for their sound. This direct pressure is the root cause of the infamous quack. In contrast, L.R Baggs’ patented Element derives output from the movement of the soundboard and rejects string attack to minimize quack. Its flexible film sensor, thin as a human hair, mirrors the soundboards movement as you play to capture the guitars actual voice and its most delicate nuances. In addition, the pickups minimalist construction removes most of its influence on the acoustic properties, creates an intimate coupling between the sensor and guitar for the highest fidelity possible, and makes the Element amazingly reliable. Every pickup is made here at L.R Baggs’ California factory and is pre-tested in a guitar for output and balance.
