The L.R. Baggs Anthem Classical is a serious upgrade for nylon-string players wanting a natural amplified tone. The combination of the Tru•Mic and Element pickup provides a remarkably full and balanced sound, especially useful for concert work or recording. It’s a premium-priced option, but the quality and performance are top-notch for those seeking a truly authentic amplified classical guitar voice.

Product Description

  • Pickup Set for Classical Guitar

  • Quick and easy installation using special adhesive pads
  • Controls for sound hole MIC control (trim potentiometer) and overall volume
