LR Baggs M80 Active Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Humbucker Pickup

The LR Baggs M80 Active Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Humbucker Pickup brings the full voice of your acoustic instrument to life with remarkable realism and depth. Designed to capture more than just string vibration, the M80 senses the entire tonal character of your guitar’s body, delivering warmth, clarity, and natural acoustic resonance on stage or in the studio. Available from Sky Music Australia, this premium pickup is ideal for players who demand authentic acoustic tone without permanent modification.

At the heart of the M80 is a patented free-floating humbucking coil that acts as a responsive 3D body sensor. As your guitar’s top resonates in multiple dimensions, the pickup captures those subtle movements and blends them with string detail to create a rich, balanced, and lifelike amplified sound.

Switchable active and passive modes provide complete flexibility for any performance. Active mode engages a high-fidelity preamp with built-in EQ, while passive mode bypasses the preamp for battery-free operation. With onboard volume control, battery check, and adjustable pole pieces, the M80 is built for dependable, gig-ready performance.
