Advanced Undersaddle Pickup with Unrivaled Dynamic Range.
Common undersaddle pickups depend on string attack to
directly compress the sensors for their sound. This direct
pressure is a root cause of the infamous “quack”. In contrast,
our patented Element derives output from the movement of the
soundboard and rejects string attack to minimize quack. Its
flexible film sensor, thin as a human hair, mirrors the
soundboard’s movement as you play to capture the guitar’s actual
voice and its most delicate nuances. In addition, the pickup’s
minimalist construction removes most of its influence on the
acoustic properties, creates an intimate coupling between the
sensor and guitar for the highest fidelity possible, and makes
the Element amazingly reliable. Every pickup is made here at our
California factory and is pre-tested in a guitar for output and
balance.
