LR Baggs have made a name for themselves as experts on the subject of acoustic amplification technology. Part of the reason for this reputation is their award-winning Element pickup system. Almost universally lauded for its ability to produce extremely natural, dynamic tones with relatively simple hardware, the Element is the pickup of choice for some of the biggest acoustic manufactures in the industry.

Piezo Technology 

On paper, the Element is a simple piezo-style under-saddle acoustic pickup. LR Baggs have tweaked the formula, however, to ensure that it produces more reliable and accurate tones than anything else available on the market.

The secret lies in how the Element system picks up sound; rather than relying on the attack of the guitar strings, it responds to vibrations of the guitar top (soundboard) itself. Tonewood plays a huge part in how an acoustic guitar sounds, in terms of tonal character and projection. This means that the Element is able to produce amplified tones that are faithful to the intended sound of your instrument! 

Subtle Design

Employing a simple, understated design has two benefits. First of all, it means minimal interruption to the sound of the guitar. Larger systems can affect the resonance of an instrument, but the Element aims to avoid this entirely by having a small footprint and ergonomic form. Secondly, the Element is barely visible concealed at the top of the soundhole. This means that you retain the simple, organic aesthetic of your acoustic guitar!

The Important stuff

Active. Guitar Accessories — Guitar accessories make all the difference when it comes to tone, comfort and performance. From essential items like guitar strings, tuners, straps and picks to practical tools such as capos, string winders and patch cables, having the right gear keeps your setup reliable and ready to play. Pedalboard accessories and power supplies help keep your effects organised, while guitar stands, wall hangers and cases protect your instruments when not in use. Whether you’re an acoustic player, electric guitarist or bassist, quality guitar accessories enhance your sound, simplify your setup and make every session smoother.. Guitar Pickups — Guitar pickups are what bring your instrument to life, capturing the vibration of the strings and shaping your tone before it even reaches the amp. Single coils offer bright, clear sounds perfect for crisp rhythm work, while humbuckers deliver a fuller, warmer tone with plenty of punch and sustain. Active pickups provide extra output and clarity for modern high-gain styles, while vintage-style designs keep things smooth and dynamic. Whether you’re chasing clean sparkle, gritty blues, or heavy distortion, the right pickups make all the difference to your sound.. Pickup — A pickup is the heart of an electric or electro-acoustic guitar, converting the vibration of the strings into an electrical signal that can be amplified. Most electric guitars use magnetic pickups, which come in two main types: single-coil and humbucker. Single-coils offer bright, clear tones with sharp attack, while humbuckers use two coils to cancel noise and deliver a thicker, warmer sound. Acoustic guitars often use piezo or microphone-based pickups to capture their natural resonance. The choice of pickup has a huge impact on tone, making it one of the most important parts of a guitar’s personality..
