Product Description
The LR Baggs Anthem Tru-Mic Acoustic Pickup will change the way you look at microphone pickups! This feedback-busting, natural-sounding pickup is the result of over 30 years of effort. There's no modeling and no illusions going on here. The Anthem is strictly a well-designed microphone that picks up your guitar - clean, clear, and full of dynamics. While many guitar microphones are way too prone to feedback or just as bad... give you that annoying "boxy sound" when used alone... the LR Baggs Anthem is like having your acoustic sound just "turned up," so it's full of detail, richness, and personality.

The greatest acoustic guitar pickup ever!
By Andy Hutchison
I have installed the Anthem on a number of customer instruments, and I am always amazed by the result. The Anthem has the rare ability to not sound like a guitar pickup--it actually sounds like a louder version of each guitar's own sound. Other pickup systems tend to give an approximate facsimile of acoustic guitar sound run through a pickup system and preamp, but the Anthem neither adds nor subtracts anything from the guitar's sound. It won't make a beginner guitar sound like a Taylor, but it will make a Taylor sound exactly the same whether unplugged or on a stage through a PA or amplifier at full volume.As I said, it is the greatest acoustic guitar pickup ever. I cannot in good conscience recommend anything else.

By David A. Kay
I consider myself an intermediate level guitar player. Small lead breaks, mostly rhythm, on my acoustic. I began to play out more and needed the ability to play through a PA system. I was on the fence of either buying a $3000 guitar with onboard electronics, or an under the saddle pic up for my acoustic. I purchased an incredible breedlove a few years ago for around $1000...and I would compare it to other guitars 3 times as expensive and my guitar always came out on top, compared to action, and tone. I opted for this pickup instead of a new guitar and couldn't be happier. I get complements all the time about how amazing my guitar sounds plugged in, and I'm quick to point out it's really just my guitar, nothing special. Yet this combo pickup has made all the difference. Since my purchase Breedlove has began shipping this pickup on all of their newer high end guitars, which I consider to be an amazing decision.I opted for the upgraded Anthem to have the ability to do my own adjustments, which I would recommend if you're playing with a group or through a variety of PA systems. The ability to adjust it according to the venue/stage mix has proved very beneficial. It has enough power to cut through any mix.Having had this pickup for about a year, my input jack began to stick. It was difficulty to remove or insert my 1/4 guitar cable. I called LR Baggs, and they were top notch professional. The gentlemen I spoke with said they stand by their product and that they had never heard of this issue, but that regardless they would send a new input jack so I could replace mine, free of charge. Great customer service and I value the way they stood by their product. I would recommend them to anyone for sure, and certainly wouldn't hesitate installing this on any guitar, no matter how cheap or expensive...your guitar sound is exactly what you get.

By Randall Scott
This is a fantastic product. I had it installed on a nice 32 year old Yamaha FG-150 and it sounds about as good as an ES based Taylor. It combines a nice balance between an interal microphone and a saddle mounted transducer - And, retains the nice original Acoustic sound when not plugged in - actually hard to physically see it on the Guitar unless you look very close at the sound hole. Thanks LR Baggs, I think you have the best non-electric Acoustic Guitar electrifying add-on.
