LR Baggs M1 Soundhole Pickup

The LR Baggs M1 acoustic guitar pickup is the world's first
body-sensitive soundhole magnetic pickup, eliminating the trade-off
between convenience and performance. From your first strum you'll know
that the M1 is pure magic. What makes it so different? The secret is
the breakthrough patent-pending TriAxial Dynamic Technology developed
by Gary Garrett and Lloyd Baggs. This new technology allows the pickup
to respond to the guitar's string and body vibrations. It's never been

easier to get superior live sound!

LR Baggs M1 - Exposed

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 LR Baggs 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!

LR Baggs has carefully tuned the support to control motion in all three
dimensions. This allowed them to selectively add the presence and
realism from the body signal while suppressing runaway feedback.
