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:	Has anyone else experienced a low hum when using this pickup? Not happy with that

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:	Does the guitar have to be acoustic electric? Can it be a regular, non electric, acoustic guitar
Answer:	Just has to have steel strings
Question:	Does it come in any other color
Answer:	No
Question:	Can it permanently installed
Answer:	Yes. If anything, permanent installation is the best way to go with this product. Some drilling of the guitar body would be required. However, there are accessories included to allow for use without permanent installation.
Question:	Will this work with a parlor size guitar? Is there enough wire to reach already drilled endpin hole
Answer:	I believe it will work for a parlor size ... depends more on the sound hole diameter than the length of the cord. I have this on a 000 sized Martin guitar and the cord reaches outside the sound hole and up over the back of the heel, then down the back and attaches to my guitar strap, so the cord should be plenty long enough.

Product description

The soul of your guitar is in the body from the tone woods that it's made of, to the fine details in the way it was put together. Standard magnetic pickups hear only dry strings, resulting in an "electric" sound that omits the true acoustic voice of your guitar. In contrast, the M80 hears the entire frequency range of the tone woods, thereby contributing warmth and complexity to your amplified sound. The secret of the M80 is a patented, free floating humbucking coil that acts as a 3D body sensor. As the soundboard resonates in all 3 dimensions, a proprietary suspension allows each axis of the humbucking coil to respond with the guitar's movement. A resonate body signal is produced and blended with the strings to faithfully capture your guitar like no other magnetic pickup ever created. The M80 also gives you the choice of active or passive settings with the flick of the switch. The active setting engages a preamp with built in EQ and audiophile circuitry for that "high fidelity" sound Bags is known for. Switch to the passive setting and bypass the preamp for a battery free performance. Other features of the M80 include a battery check, volume control and adjustable pole pieces for perfect balance between the strings.

• Full-range body sensitivity
• Active or passive operation
• Feedback resistant
• Multi-segment battery check
• Adjustable pole pieces

User questions & answers

Question:	What is an appropriate DC power supply to use with this
Answer:	It's powered by a watch battery. You may have to reverse polarity with your equipment(phase)
Question:	Does it affect the unplugged sound at all? i have the anthem right now and it has made my om28 sound muffled
Answer:	yes, the sound coming out of the speakers/amp you are using will sound different than the natural acoustic guitar. No one has invented a totally natural acoustic pick-up. I have spent $1,000s trying to get a natural amplified tone and it just ain't happening at this point... That said, I have settled on the LR Baggs M80 for use in 3 of my better acoustics for the time being.
Question:	Does this pickup adjust to Seagull S6 Original? I guess guitars vary by the size of their body holes
Answer:	It adjusts to fit a given hole by moving it up or down. On a standard Taylor 110 for example, the pickup is not placed at the widest part of the hole but moved up towards the neck until the width of the pickup snugly grips the sides.
Question:	I don't want to alter the guitar at all. Can I use the LR Baggs M80 pickup and run a cord out of the sound hole
Answer:	I'm sure you could run the cable out of the sound hole but any movement of the cable would probably produce an unwanted sound. There would be a guitar cable end plugged into the pickup wire which is not very long so the connected plug could clang against the pick guard. I was reluctant to modify my guitar but the recommended modification (plug goes into the center of the rear strap thing) is completely invisible, fairly easy to do yourself and wouldn't change the value of the guitar if you ever sold it. I recommend the modification. One other thing to consider if you haven't yet bought the pickup is the passive option. I bought the active one and changing the battery is a real nuisance. You have to loosen all the strings so you can get the pickup out, the battery can't be replaced with the pickup in place on the sound hole.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work on a vintage ovation balladeer without drilling
Answer:	You can't drill a hole in your vintage ovation balladeer. Because the back of the guitar is not made from wood but a composite material. We suggest purchasing NEO-SP30 soundhole pickup or SBT-10 soundboard transducer for your guitar. And please note NEO-SP30 only fit for steel-string acoustic guitars whose soundhole diameter is between 3.82" to 4.33".
Question:	Can I connect this to a loop pedal
Answer:	Yes, you can connect to the loop pedal and then to the amplifier.
Question:	Do I need to loosen the strings to insert it
Answer:	Usually, there is no need to loosen the strings for installation. But if your guitar soundhole diameter is as close to the minimum size that we described (3.82” to 4.33”) or your string is too tight to get through, and it’s not so easy to install the pickup on your guitar, we recommend to loosen the strings for easier installation.
Question:	Can this pickup detect guitar drumming ( hitting the guitar body to make it sound like a drum
Answer:	Yes, it can detect the tapping sound. But the tapping sound from Amumu NEO-SP30/31 is not as big as the sound from Amumu SBT-10 because SBT-10 is a vibration transducing pickup which transduces all the signal from the soundboard and the body. We suggest you try Amumu SBT-10
