Pure Unplugged Realism with Ultra-Lightweight Bridge Plate Sensors
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to offer the Baggs HiFi High-Fidelity Acoustic Bridge Plate Pickup System (formerly LR Baggs). Engineered for acoustic purists, the HiFi system pairs dual high-fidelity bridge plate sensors with a custom-voiced Class-A discrete preamp to capture the full frequency spectrum, dynamic breath, and woody acoustic character of your instrument.
Sanctuary Expert Note: "The HiFi is Baggs' answer for players who want the natural warmth and microphonic detail of a bridge plate pickup without the heavy mass or tricky installation of legacy systems. The peel-and-stick sensors preserve your guitar’s structural integrity and top movement, ensuring your instrument sounds just as rich unamplified as it does through a PA."
