Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The anthem is the best acoustic pickup ive used. The only downfall is that you can only change the battery if the strings are off. Kudos to l.

Baggs under-saddle pickup emphasizes the mid-range and bass strings. It also delivers good amplification.

The anthem exceeds all claims made by lr baggs. It is a system that you can easily tailor to your guitar. The only con is the price which is pretty steep.

The anthem is a foolproof multi source system. High frequencies are captured (and amplified) by the microphone. Mix in as much of the mic as you want, and if there's a problem, it can always be dialed back.

Is it perfect? The element sounds pretty good. The anthem sounds great.

Cons

Unplugging the cable does not shut down the preamp, meaning the battery drains in days. The phase switch is defective and needs tweaking and playing with to get every state to work.

Just to bad baggs voids their warranty if not installed by a certified luthier

Ive tried and owned many acoustic pickups none of them could ever do what this system does true tone and no feedback

Price

I purchased an incredible breedlove a few years ago for around 1000

Yes but in my case it is worth every penny

It cost me 90 to have this installed by a local authorized dealer who also did a full setup

I have tried just about every pickup under 300 at this point

Shipping

Prodact very good but the delivery was very very slow

Competitiveness

I have a 2016 taylor 312ce with the expression 2 system that sounds much better than this gibson did with the factory installed... Read More

I tried the lyric and the anthem sl and was disappointed in both

And i would compare it to other guitars 3 times as expensive and my guitar always came out on top compared to action and tone

This sounds amazing but its a little quiet compared to other pickups
