On board electronics upgraded to an LR Baggs Anthem dual-source system which involves:

1. Undersaddle 'Element' transducer

2. Bridge Plate mounted internal 'Tru-Mic' microphone

...with the ability to mix variable levels and blend between the two sources.

This goes beautifully with a LR Baggs Venue DI Preamp ( which I plan to list shortly)

'Phantom Power' supplied via a TRS cable which carries

1. Audio output from the guitar (to an amp/PA system) and

2. 9 volts DC to the guitar from an external power supply unit (included)

... so you never run out of power the middle of a gig.

Original Hard Case

In-line 9 V DC Phantom power system. Power reaches the guitar through a TRS cable. You can use any conventional 9 V supply or also included is a battery pack that takes six AA batteries, with a ridiculously long battery life - 42 times as long as a 9V pp3 battery (21ah, as compared 0.55ah with a 9v pp3 battery). No ground loops, hum, noise 9v and lasts almost forever. And you can daisy chain that without any problems

Most acoustic guitar pickup systems sound lovely when playing softly. Start digging in and the horrible piezo quack comes in. Below is my demo of this guitar with the LR Baggs Anthem pickup system with intentionally heavy strumming, so as to reveal any weakness of the system.

First audio section involves just the UST undersaddle transducer

Second audio section incorporates the Anthem bridge plate mic.
