LR Baggs Anthem Split Saddle Transducer Acoustic Guitar Pickup

The LR Baggs Anthem Split Saddle system captures your instrument's true voice with remarkable realism. Designed for guitars with split saddles, this system blends the warmth and detail of a studio microphone with the clarity and feedback resistance of an undersaddle transducer for a natural, dynamic tone on any stage.

The Anthem is built around LR Baggs' Tru-Mic technology, a miniature condenser microphone that mounts inside the guitar and captures full body resonance without the harshness or feedback common in mic systems. Paired with the Element undersaddle pickup, you can blend the two signals for the perfect balance of warmth, detail, and punch, with soundhole-mounted controls making it easy to adjust volume and mic blend while performing, ideal for players on split-saddle guitars such as Lowden who want the most natural amplified tone.
