User questions & answers

Question:	Is this thing held on by the strings, or does it have an adesive tape to stick it in place
Answer:	You may have to check reverb-dot-com for a used unit to take parts from.
Question:	Does the pickup change the break angle of the strings over the bridge
Answer:	From the violin pickup you connect to the input on the L.R. Baggs DI (1/4" jack), then another cord (1/4" or microphone type chord goes from output to PA. You then have much more tone control at your fingertips to adjust your tone and if need be your volume.
Question:	Will the pick up work the same for sure when the pickup be installed with the cable port on the 6th string side, rather than on the 1st string
Answer:	Hello; great to hear from you, I have questions before answering, are you playing into an ampliphier or Sound system, thank you; buford

Question:	Do I need an app to connect it to my phone and record the audio
Answer:	no, it's straight analog. 1/3" jack gets plugged into a mixer or amplifier. very good quality
Question:	Will this work for an autoharp
Answer:	Autoharp is a box and string instrument and I believe there will be no problem to use Luvay Piezo pickup with it. I have not seen or played Autoharp, but just googled and looked at it and it looks like a guitar with out a neck, so this item can work with it. Good luck!

Product description

The Award winning Anthem series, featuring our patent pending TRU MIC technology, seamlessly combines a proprietary condenser microphone with our acclaimed Element pickup to deliver the warmth and fidelity of a studio mic'd guitar anywhere you perform. At the heart of the Anthem is a revolutionary microphone engineered to capture a dynamic studio mic'd sound for any live performance. The TRU•MIC mounts to the underside of the bridge plate and hovers just 3 mm above its surface to take advantage of the PZM or "boundary" effect. This proprietary mounting system, combined with noise cancellation, frees the mic to perform as if it were outside of the guitar in a studio and maintain remarkable feedback suppression for the stage. The result is a balanced frequency response with excellent clarity for the purest sound you have ever heard amplified. We have paired the Element pickup with the TRU MIC to provide solidity and punch for low frequencies.

• Endpin Preamp
• Includes TRU-MIC and Element Pickup
• Mic Level Control
• Volume Control
• Battery Life: 170+ hrs, single 9V

Answer:	I don't think so. Nothing specified beyond Pearly Gates and bridge model. It is slant mounted on my slant fretted Rickenbacker 481. Not perfect spacing, but close enough to sound mighty fine!
Question:	What is the difference between this product and the l.r. baggs lyric-c lyric classical guitar microphone? they both have the same price in amazon

User questions & answers

Question:	I have both a Lundberg Lute and a Carlo Greco classical guitar - which of your pick-ups would be my best bet for use on both these vintage instruments
Answer:	Our Feather Pickup System would work ideal for both of those particular instruments.
Question:	I need to amplify for live gigs a few acoustic instruments (a charango, bandurria, a banjolele and a banjo). Would this be good for that application
Answer:	If you are thinking of switching from instrument to instrument within same gig it could be a problem - I would think about getting a really good instrument mike and they make a low mike stand which I find useful since I'm not tall and regular mike stands too high. For each instrument you have to find the sweet spot for the Feather pickup so placement varies - during a live gig I have reservations if you are planning to use a single pickup between various instruments.... hope this helps
Question:	Does this require a battery
Answer:	Hi there, Yes, this item requires a 3v battery. Luckily, the product already comes with one included. Hope this helps. Daniel

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have a built-in tuner
Answer:	Not really but there is a mic gain control that you could max out.
Question:	Does this have a truss rod
Answer:	Hi there, Yes there is a mic volume potentiometer that will let you set the amount of mic signal to be blended with the pickup. As much as I know, you don't need a graphic EQ, 'cause this pickup is recommended to be used with Para DI which already has all the EQ corrections you need on stage.
Question:	Is it available in a left-handed model
Answer:	One 1/2" hole for the endpin jack, and a small 3/32" hole at the bottom of the saddle slot to insert the pickup sensor. Here is a link to the installation manual, for your reference:http://www.lrbaggs.com/sites/default/files/pdf/anthemsl_install_manual.pdf
Question:	Does this guitar have a narrower neck than a classical
Answer:	THE CLASSIC IS SPECIFICALLY FOR NYLON STRINGS

User questions & answers

Question:	What gig bag do you recommend for this
Answer:	Cordoba 1/4 Size Guitar Gig Bag is the exact match. I bought one from sweetwater for 50$.
Question:	Is there a truss rod
Answer:	There’s a truss rod and a key comes with it. One thing to bear in mind is that unlike the mini, This doesn’t ship with a case or bag.
Question:	Is this guitar recommended only with Nylon strings
Answer:	Definitely. Steel strings are a no-noon a classical guitar because the tension pull of the steel strings exceeds the design strength of the top. Classical guitars have thinner tops and lighter bracing under the top for reinforcement. Steel strings will eventually warp the top and cause the bridge to pull up. It also sounds bad. Get a smaller scale steel string guitar if you wish to playonsteel strings. Cheers.
Question:	My mini guitar was strung with Savarez strings- what kind of savarez? There are many types -I love the strings & want to get a backup set- tension
Answer:	The strings on the Mini II EB-CE are Savarez 500CJ high tension Corum strings. They are good, but you might want to give Savarez Cantiga Premium 510AJP a try. They are amazing strings and sound wonderful on this guitar. Sincerely, Daniel Calido Guitars

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have a lot of noise since you can't put a feedback plug in the guitar? Also, can i plug it directly into my Line6 amp(4 electric guitar
Answer:	Feedback would depend on your situation, proximity to speakers, size of room, volume level, etc. I never use feedback plug because that's never an issue for us. Yes, you can plug into any amp or preamp. It doesn't have a lot of volume by itself being a passive pickup, so I would recommend plugging into an amp or preamp if going directly into a system.
Question:	Has anyone compared this to the "XL" version, is it worth the price difference
Answer:	The XL is only different in that it has adjustable pole pieces to balance your string outputs. These lower cost "portable" pickup solutions are not EVER the best sounding, BUT if you purchase an external acoustic guitar PRE-AMP you will find the resulting sound competes with the $300-$400 acoustic/electric guitar setups which always employ a built-in preamp. Then the only drawback as I see it would be esthetics. That's the tradeoff for using a temporary or portable pickup. In my considered opinion a preamp is a must. AND as with all acoustic guitar setups, use an amplifier Fender, Fishman, AER, Marshall, Boss, etc designed for acoustic guitar. Reason being that, Electric Guitar Amps are not generally designed to amplify sounds over 5KHZ. An acoustic guitar should run through an amp designed to reproduce 7KHZ+ faithfully! No acoustic pickup sounds very good running through an electric guitar amplifier. Conclusion. Want this or any pickup on your acoustic to shine; Buy the pickup of your choice, an in-line external preamp and an Acoustic Guitar Amplifier. You may have to drop about $1000 in the long run, but you'll have a lifetime of LOUD Acoustic Guitar Joy my friend!
Question:	Can I use it on the little Martin Lxk
Answer:	The Woody HC is designed to fit "into standard 3.75" (94mm) to 4" (100mm) sound holes." If the Martin has a sound hole within this range, it should fit. Instructions are included it the packaging. If you don't know the sound hole dimensions, check with Martin.
Question:	Can this be installed and easily removed when needed? thanks
Answer:	Yes, it is very easy to install and remove.

User questions & answers

Question:	could i put this on a ukuele
Answer:	Yes, GGP-01 guitar pickup need an amp
Question:	Does the 1/4 output have a metric or a standard thread on the outside? I am interested in installing an adapter in there but need to know tread size
Answer:	Yes
Question:	If this is being used as a replacement piezoelectric pickup it would install under the bridge and not be glued to the body
Answer:	It can work, but it is better to install piezoelectric pickups. It is not recommended not to install piezoelectric pickups
Question:	Mic knob on this and blend on other systems work the same...piezo always on, "blend" in the amount of mic u want. Hope it helps
Answer:	Hello and thank you for asking this question. NG-2 is a portable piezo pickup designed to work with nylon-string guitars, which have a standard for most models of this type bridge with a tie bar. It slides into the opened loops formed by attaching the strings to the tie bar, and then locked in place by the pressure of the strings when they are retuned to standard. The pickup has built-in volume control for easy adjustment directly from the stage. SG-1 is a portable piezo pickup designed to work with steel-string acoustic guitars. It will easily fit on the standard bridge of such a guitar, sliding it between the saddle and the bridge pins. There is no built-in volume control.

Product description

The Pure Mini is a transducer-only system. No battery, no onboard electronics, just the pure pickups. Don't be fooled by the sound of some competitors' "thin sounding" passive systems. The Pure Systems are definitely different. They sound full and rich and have sufficient output to drive most amps and PA systems directly, without a preamp! Advantages of the Pure Guitar System The special Pure surface transducers transmit a significant portion of the soundboard because they are not as close to the strings as an under-saddle pickup. Each of the 3 transducers is designed to pick up a specific string pair, but also "listens" to the adjacent area around the bridge. The Pure pickups are not under pressure and therefore do NOT sound percussive or harsh. The Pure System reproduces all strings nicely balanced, a known problem with under-saddle pickups. The Pure System sounds great just in passive mode! Unlike under-saddle pickups which passively can sound thin and trebley, the passive PURE system puts out a nicely balanced, warm, full range signal. Feedback Resistance How safe is the Pure System with feedback? Due to the Pure System's location on the bridge plate under the bridge, feedback resistance is comparable to under-saddle transducers. Technically, a pickup installed in or on the bridge is a lot less likely to feedback than one which is attached to the open sound board. The 1/8" thin sound board can act like a diaphragm and vibrate along with loud sound-signals from speaker cabinets. This is the kind of feedback you experience on an acoustic guitar. The thicker bridge area is a lot harder to be set into vibration from an outside source simply because of its mass. In our tests with both, steel string and classic guitars equipped with an under-saddle pickup plus the Pure System, we were able to achieve about the same gain-before-feedback with both systems.

• Three Transducer Pickup System for Steel String Guitars
• Includes 1/4" Endpin Jack
• Pre-wired, No Soldering Required
• High Output - No Battery Required!

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work on a three string mountain dulcimer
Answer:	If you are building a fulcimer, I think so, otherwise I don't know how you would install it. They are mounted under the bridge plate ( superglued). UNLESS you are building the instrument, I don't know how you would install it. You also have to drill the jack mount to the end of the dulcimer. I own a 4 string dulcimer and there is no way to install.
Question:	I removed a k&k, one of the super glued heads was ruined. can i get good response with 2 heads only? maybe on a small guitar of uke
Answer:	You still should get sound. I am not sure how good it will be. I have not had any experience with this.
Question:	Is this a good option for a big guitar such as a Martin HD28V? I am under the impression that this is for smaller guitars
Answer:	No, it will work fine in your HD28V - I put one in an HD28 and it sounded great. The mini captures the true essence of your guitar and every one I've installed (mostly in my own guitars), has sounded full and balanced.
Question:	How do you install this
Answer:	It is installed by applying superglue to the pick ups and gluein them to the bridge plate inside the guitar. It comes with a set up jig and some putty to make sure everything is aligned properly. An average do it yourselfer should be able to accomplish this project, but a luthier would probably do it for around $50. They do sound great by the way in my custom 28.
