LR Baggs Anthem SL Classical Acoustic Guitar Pickup Microphone System

Great alternative to buying a new guitar

I first tried the Chinese copy it didn't fit or sound good. Buy the real thing you won't be sorry it sounds great. If you like your present guitar you don't have to buy a new one.

Possibly good product, just depends who's installing it.

Brought 2, one for my steel string and the other for a nylon (LR Baggs nylon). Took it to a pro installer at Sam Ash music. Noisy for recording purposes. The nylon guitar is now useless, as the 'bracing is now loose that's why the noise'. Learned my lesson to not go the modification route.Read full review

Best Acoustic Guitar Pickup On The Market

This Anthem SL acoustic guitar pickup sounds absolutely amazing! Very natural tone and easy to control. However, you will want to have this product professionally installed. I would not recommend installing this yourself unless you are very familiar with the product. This is my second Anthem SL and I am beyond amazed at how good it sounds!Read full review

High quality pickup/close mic for acoustic guitar

Superb device. Very easy to fit, but needs some care when so doing. The sound is very adjustable and it is easy to achieve a warm natural sound thanks to the combination of pickup and internally fitted mic.
Not a cheap system but well worth the money.Read full review

Simple and useful

Fairly easy to install and comes with everything you need, except a battery.
Great for acoustic guitars without having to install big electronics.
I have not experienced any feedback from the mic, love it.Read full review

2 Thumbs Up on the Anthem-SL

I installed the Anthem-SL in my Sigma acoustic, which was a challenge because it already had a piezo UST installed. If you have this issue you will probably need a new saddle to get the right string height. It took a while to find the right balance between the UST and the Tru-Mic but now it sounds the same amplified as it does unplugged. No piezo quack! 5 stars!Read full review

Nice blend

The Anthem SL system was easy to install and sounds just like my guitar unplugged! The only hitch in the installation is to sand down the saddle to compensate for the height of the under saddle transducer. This is easily done by using a flat file with 180 grit sand paper on it or a piece of glass with the paper.

I plugged in and using the provide adjusting tool, adjusted the blend until unplugged and plugged sounded the same. Do this with the volume control!Read full review

Perfect acoustic guitar pickups!

Love those pickups for the real sound the transmit, perfect for recording the acoustic guitar the way I hear it. The installation is a bit tricky but a good guitar tech should have no trouble.

Great pick up / microphone!

The best way to mic your acoustic is with a condencor at the neck in front of the guitar. That's not always an option live cause you can get feedback easily and the volume is often too low. This is the best I've tried yet in an acoustic ! Price winning system.Read full review
