LR Baggs EAS-VTC Element Active Pickup System

Revolutionary acoustic pickup technology has arrived with the EAS-VTC, combining the proven EAS foundation with advanced treble tone control and innovative low frequency compression circuitry. This sophisticated LF compressor effectively controls unwanted low-end thump whilst replicating the natural dynamic response of your acoustic guitar for remarkably authentic sound reproduction.

The Element pickup represents a fundamental departure from conventional undersaddle designs that rely solely on string compression. Instead, this groundbreaking system was specifically engineered to capture the actual movement of your guitar's soundboard as you play, providing a more natural and responsive pickup solution.

Central to the Element's performance is an ultra-thin flexible film sensor measuring just 2 thousandths of an inch thick, capable of detecting your guitar's most subtle musical nuances. By tracking the motion of the guitar top rather than direct string attack, the system eliminates the characteristic "quack" associated with compression-based pickups and unlocks exceptional dynamic range. The pickup's minimalist design philosophy ensures minimal impact on your guitar's natural acoustic properties whilst creating an intimate connection between pickup and instrument for outstanding fidelity.
