Baggs
Four Decades of Acoustic Amplification Innovation
In 1978, luthier Lloyd Baggs began handcrafting custom acoustic guitars in Ojai, California for legendary artists like Ry Cooder and Janis Ian. Driven by a desire to amplify the true acoustic voice of his instruments without compromising their natural resonance, Lloyd transitioned into transducer engineering—forever changing how acoustic instruments are amplified on stage and in the studio. Known for over forty years as L.R. Baggs, today Baggs continues to set the global standard for boutique acoustic pickup systems.
Rather than relying on harsh traditional piezos that introduce metallic "quack" and brittle high frequencies, Baggs pickup systems are engineered to capture the actual physical movement, warmth, and soundboard air of your guitar. From high-output stage environments to intimate studio sessions, Baggs offers specialized pickup topographies designed for every playing style, body shape, and performance venue.
Industry-Leading Pickup Topographies
Whether you are retrofitting a vintage dreadnought, a fingerstyle grand auditorium, or a delicate nylon-string acoustic, Baggs provides world-class pickup solutions:
- Baggs HiFi System: Lightweight dual soundboard sensors that deliver high-definition acoustic air, pristine transient response, and zero mechanical impact on your top.
- Baggs Anthem Series: Award-winning Tru-Mic technology combined with an Element undersaddle sensor for unmatched feedback resistance and studio-mic realism on loud stages.
- Baggs Element VTC: A flexible undersaddle sensor featuring dynamic compression and analog warmth for plug-and-play simplicity.
- Baggs Lyric: A featherweight internal soundhole microphone system designed for natural acoustic air and delicate dynamic expression.
- Baggs M1 & M80: Tri-Axial magnetic soundhole pickups that capture both string vibration and body resonance for effortless install and feedback-free performance.
