LR Baggs Element Active Nylon String (Classical) Guitar Pickup

The L.R. Baggs Element pickup revolutionises acoustic guitar amplification by capturing the natural movement of your guitar's soundboard rather than relying on direct string pressure like conventional undersaddle systems. This patented technology addresses the notorious “quack” sound that plagues traditional pickups by rejecting string attack and instead responding to the subtle vibrations of the guitar's top.

At the heart of this innovation lies a flexible film sensor, incredibly thin�no thicker than a human hair�that mirrors every nuance of your soundboard's movement. This design philosophy allows the Element to reproduce your guitar's authentic voice with remarkable fidelity, capturing even the most delicate tonal characteristics that make your instrument unique.

The pickup's minimalist construction ensures it has minimal impact on your guitar's natural acoustic properties whilst creating an intimate connection between sensor and instrument. This approach not only maximises sound quality but also contributes to the Element's exceptional reliability. Each unit is manufactured at L.R. Baggs' California facility and undergoes rigorous pre-testing in an actual guitar to verify optimal output and tonal balance.
