Unlike typical undersaddle acoustic guitar pickups that are dependent on string compression 
for their sound, the Element was engineered to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement 
as you play. 

At the heart of the pickup, a flexible film sensor only 2 thousandths of an inch thick picks 
up the guitar’s most delicate nuances. Tracking the motion of the top rather than a direct 
string attack suppresses “quack” caused by compression and unlocks the Element’s
 unrivaled dynamic range. The pickup’s minimalist construction lessens any influence 
on the acoustic properties and creates an intimate coupling between the pickup and 
guitar for the highest fidelity possible.

Introducing HiFi, a non-invasive pickup design that pairs dual bridge plate sensors with high-fidelity electronics, 
providing exceptional balance, definition, dynamics, and good feedback resistance. With a simplified peel-and-stick 
installation, the lightweight pickups preserve the integrity of your instrument’s bridge plate without negatively 
altering your acoustic tone. The construction, materials, size, and shape of the pickups contribute to a balance 
between string and body energy that represents the inherent sound of your instrument. Lastly, HiFi’s built-in, 
studio-quality preamp is voiced to complement the pickups for an optimal plug-and-play experience.
