L.R. Baggs HiFi Acoustic Guitar Pickup System

L.R. Baggs HiFi Acoustic Guitar Pickup System

L.R. Baggs HiFi is an acoustic guitar pickup system designed for steel string acoustic guitars in performance and recording environments. It enables amplification of the natural acoustic sound for guitar players, supporting live sound reinforcement and direct recording workflows. This makes it ideal for stage and studio use where accurate string and body balance is critical.

The system uses dual bridge plate sensors paired with an internal endpin preamp to translate string and top vibration into an electrical signal. Its electronics are voiced to work directly with the sensors for consistent output and system integration.

In real-world use, the HiFi pickup supports reliable amplified performance while preserving the character of the instrument. Its lightweight design and internal mounting approach allow players to maintain the acoustic response of their guitar during live and recorded use.
