L.R. Baggs HiFi Acoustic Pickup - Bridge Plate System | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The L.R. Baggs HiFi acoustic guitar pickup system represents a breakthrough in non-invasive amplification technology, capturing your instrument's authentic voice without compromising its natural acoustic character. This innovative bridge plate pickup features dual lightweight sensors that produce a faithful mirror image of your guitar's unplugged tone with exceptional balance, clear articulation, and highly dynamic response. Designed for discerning acoustic guitarists who demand sonic authenticity, the HiFi system delivers studio-quality amplified sound in a streamlined plug-and-play package.
Product Overview
The HiFi pickup system employs two precision-engineered bridge plate sensors that mount directly beneath the bridge using a simple peel-and-stick installation method. This non-invasive approach preserves your guitar's structural integrity while allowing the soundboard to resonate freely without dampening or constraint. Unlike traditional under-saddle pickups that can alter your instrument's acoustic properties, the HiFi sensors capture string vibration and body resonance without permanently modifying your guitar, making this system ideal for vintage instruments and guitars where maintaining original condition is paramount.
The cutting-edge electronics within each sensor deliver incredible tonal balance across the frequency spectrum, with clear definition that articulates every nuance of your playing technique. The system's sophisticated design captures both the energy of your guitar's body and the immediate response of the strings, creating a natural amplified voice that faithfully represents your instrument's inherent character. The lightweight construction ensures minimal mass loading on the bridge plate, allowing your top wood to vibrate with maximum efficiency while the sensors translate those vibrations into pristine electrical signal.
At the heart of the HiFi system lies a built-in studio-quality preamp that was meticulously custom-voiced to complement the bridge plate sensors perfectly. This matched preamp and pickup combination eliminates the guesswork of tone-matching external electronics, delivering optimized sound quality straight out of the box. The soundhole-mounted control unit features intuitive volume and tone controls that provide essential tonal shaping without cluttering your signal path. With exceptional feedback resistance and an impressive 700-hour battery life from a single 9-volt battery, the HiFi pickup system offers reliable performance for extended touring schedules and marathon recording sessions.

- Professional acoustic guitarists who demand authentic unplugged tone when amplified
- Recording artists requiring natural acoustic sound for studio and live broadcast applications
- Touring musicians who need reliable, feedback-resistant pickup systems for diverse venues

Key Features
Non-Invasive Bridge Plate Installation
The innovative peel-and-stick mounting system attaches sensors directly to the bridge plate rather than the guitar's top, preserving your instrument's acoustic integrity and structural soundboard resonance. This installation method requires no drilling, routing, or permanent modifications, making it perfect for valuable vintage guitars while ensuring the soundboard vibrates freely to produce maximum acoustic volume and tonal complexity.
Dual High-Fidelity Sensors
Two precision-engineered bridge plate sensors work in tandem to capture a complete sonic picture of your guitar's voice, delivering incredible balance between bass, midrange, and treble frequencies. The cutting-edge electronics within each lightweight sensor provide clear articulation of individual notes and chords while maintaining exceptional dynamic response that follows your playing intensity from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive strumming.
Custom-Voiced Studio Preamp
The built-in preamp was meticulously designed and fine-tuned specifically for the HiFi bridge plate sensors, creating an optimized system that delivers plug-and-play sonic excellence without requiring external tone-matching. This studio-grade circuit balances body energy with string response, producing an amplified voice that mirrors your guitar's natural acoustic character while providing intuitive volume and tone controls for essential sound shaping.
Superior Feedback Resistance
The HiFi system's advanced sensor design and strategic bridge plate placement provide top-class feedback resistance that enables confident performance at high stage volumes. This exceptional feedback immunity allows you to stand directly in front of monitors and amplifiers without triggering problematic howling frequencies, giving you freedom of movement on stage while maintaining pristine amplified tone.
Ultra-Long Battery Life
With an impressive 700-hour operational lifespan from a single 9-volt battery, the HiFi pickup system virtually eliminates concerns about mid-performance power failures. This exceptional battery efficiency makes the system ideal for touring musicians who perform multiple shows between equipment maintenance opportunities, while also reducing long-term operating costs and environmental impact.
