Description
Most soundhole pickups nail the string attack but leave the guitar’s actual voice behind. The M80 fixes that with a clever trick: a patented floating secondary coil that pulls double duty. It hums out noise like a standard humbucking coil should, but it’s also suspended so it can move independently and pick up the top’s vibration across three dimensions.
That floating coil is tuned across the guitar’s full frequency range, and because it’s free to respond on multiple axes, it captures more of the complex, woody movement of the soundboard than a fixed coil ever could. L.R. Baggs blends that body signal in with the magnetic string signal at just the right ratio, so you get one unified voice instead of two competing signals fighting for space.
The result is a magnetic pickup that finally sounds like your guitar breathing, not just your strings ringing.
- Switchable Active or Passive operation
- Built-in battery check function
- Dual-coil 3D body-sensing design
If you’ve been chasing a plugged-in tone that doesn’t sound thin or sterile, the M80 is worth a serious listen.
