Acoustic Guitar Under Saddle Pickup

Advanced Under Saddle Pickup with Unrivalled Dynamic Range

Sadek Music, we know that common under-saddle pickups rely on string attack to compress their sensors, often leading to the dreaded "quack" in your tone. The LR Baggs Element takes a different approach. Unlike traditional pickups, its patented design captures sound from the movement of the soundboard rather than direct string attack, significantly reducing quack and delivering a more natural, dynamic tone. Its ultra-thin, flexible film sensor—no thicker than a human hair—mirrors the guitar’s vibrations with remarkable accuracy, preserving its true voice and subtle nuances. Built with a minimalist design, the Element pickup minimizes interference with the guitar’s natural resonance, ensuring the highest fidelity possible. Plus, each pickup is crafted in LR Baggs' California factory and pre-tested in a guitar for optimal output and balance, making it an incredibly reliable choice for acoustic players.
