New M1 Magnetic Soundhold Pickup PickupJan 06, 2004  Click image for closeup | LR Baggs has developed what they are calling world's first body sensitive, the M1. What makes it different? The "secret" is the patent-pending Tri-Axial Dynamic technology developed by Gary Garrett and Lloyd Baggs. Within the pickup a humbucking coil is suspended beneath a string sensing coil, and is free to move as a three axis accelerometer in response to body vibrations. The M1 combines a traditional string pickup and a 3 dimensional body pickup - so it is really a pre-blended dual source system all within one passive pickup according to the company. A 1/8" jack is built into the M1 body to make it a snap to take it in and out. The pickup includes a strapjack pre-wired with Mogami cable and a 12 foot Mogami guitar cable. It's user-installable in seconds and there is no battery. List Price: $199 Available: February 2004 For more information, visit their web site at www.lrbaggs.com. |
