LR Baggs M80 Active Magnetic Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Pickup - Full Range 3D Body Sensitivity | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The LR Baggs M80 is an active magnetic humbucker soundhole pickup designed to capture the complete voice of your acoustic guitar — strings and body together. Its proprietary 3D body sensitivity technology reproduces the richness and complexity of your instrument's natural tone, making it a standout choice for performing acoustic guitarists at any level. Whether you're strumming chords or playing intricate fingerpicking lines, the M80 translates your guitar's full acoustic character to the stage.
Product Overview
The LR Baggs M80 installs easily into your guitar's soundhole and features a pre-wired strapjack harness for a clean, straightforward setup. Its humbucker design is engineered to be feedback resistant — a critical advantage for live performance situations where stage volume is a concern.
At the heart of the M80 is LR Baggs' body-sensitive technology, which goes beyond typical string-only magnetic pickups. The M80 reads the physical vibrations of the guitar body itself, resulting in a warmer, more three-dimensional tone that avoids the thin, overly bright character common to many acoustic soundhole pickups.
The M80 features switchable active and passive modes, giving players real-time control over their sound and output level. Active mode delivers full, detailed response powered by a single CR2032 battery rated for approximately 300 hours of use, while passive mode provides a reliable fallback without any power source required.
Ideal For
- Acoustic guitarists seeking a natural-sounding soundhole pickup that captures both string and body tone
- Performing singer-songwriters who need a feedback-resistant pickup for live acoustic guitar amplification
- Fingerpickers and strummers looking for a warm, full-range acoustic pickup for stage use
- Musicians wanting switchable active/passive acoustic guitar pickup flexibility in one unit
- Players in Idaho Falls and beyond searching for a professional LR Baggs acoustic guitar pickup
Key Features
3D Body Sensitivity The M80's defining technology picks up vibrations from the guitar body in addition to string movement, producing a full, natural acoustic tone that avoids the harsh, overly bright response of traditional magnetic pickups.
Switchable Active/Passive Modes Toggle between active and passive operation with a single switch, giving you flexibility in any performance scenario — whether you want the full output of active mode or a passive signal when battery-free playing is preferred.
Feedback Resistance The humbucker design minimizes unwanted feedback in high-volume environments, making the M80 a dependable choice for live acoustic performance on any size stage.
Built-In Volume Control An onboard volume control lets you manage your output level directly from the pickup without reaching for a separate preamp or pedal, keeping your signal chain simple and responsive.
Easy Installation The M80 comes with a pre-wired strapjack harness that simplifies installation, so you can get the pickup into your guitar and onto the stage quickly.
