Perfect blend of string and body! The M1 Active does just what you want your acoustic guitar's pickup to do — it brings the natural voice of your guitar to life onstage. Your strings will sound sweet but not too twangy and bright, which is a problem with many acoustic pickups. And you'll have full control of your detailed, full sound thanks to the LR Baggs M1 Active's built-in volume control. You'll be glad to know that there's a pre-wired strapjack harness, so installation should be a snap. Best of all, you can feel free to plug in and play all you want. The M1 Active's battery lasts for 1,000+ hours — that's more than a month of 24/7 playing!
