NEW!!! LRBaggs M1 Active Soundhole pick-ups in stock!!!

These things have to be heard to be believed. Such sweet and completely noise free tone. Warmth, clarity, punch, subtlety… yum yum yum yum yum. These pick-ups have been super popular with working players and amatuer musos alike since their release. Here’s the guff from LR Baggs.. ‘The M1 is a humbucking pickup – with a twist. In a common stacked humbucker, the second, lower coil cancels hum, but doesn’t contribute anything positive to the sound. In fact, it can muddy the sound of the main coil. We unlock the second coil. This allows it to make a positive sonic contribution while maintaining the pure open sound of a single coil — but without the hum.’

‘In the M1, the hum-canceling coil is suspended under the main coil by a tuned support that allows it to move in three dimensions. The primary coil moves with the guitar top and creates a body signal in the suspended secondary coil. This brings the M1 to life, with string and body sound all in one. It’s like having a dual pickup system in your soundhole. And it’s all passive!‘
