Description
The iBeam is L.R. Baggs’ clever answer to the piezo-quack problem: instead of sitting under the saddle, this transducer adheres directly to the underside of the bridge plate, reading the top’s actual motion rather than pure string pressure. The result is a plugged-in tone that stays honest to your guitar’s natural character, complete with the little details like finger squeak and top-tap percussion that give acoustic playing its life.
Because it’s mounted on the bridge plate rather than wedged into the saddle slot, the iBeam leaves your guitar’s acoustic tone completely untouched when unplugged. It’s also genuinely microphonic in the good way, sensitive enough to pick up nuance, yet engineered to resist feedback so you can push volume on stage without a fight.
At just 1/3 of an ounce, the patent-pending iBeam adds essentially zero mass to your top. Installation is quick thanks to the included placement jig, which guides you to the correct spot inside the soundhole so you get consistent, repeatable results without guesswork.
