L.R.Baggs Stagepro Element

I upgraded an ovation-type guitar that I bought in the early 90's.
The guitar itself doesn't sound bad and it is still good to play; the troubles came when amplification needed...

So I decided to search something to replace the low cost (and old) original pickup system with a new one trying to enhance the quality of the sound for the recording.

I've choose L.R. Baggs Stagepro Elements after comparing different marks and models too considering sound, tech features, quality and price too.
I found it solid, made with good materials; to me it looks as a quality product.

If you are able and are used to make maintenance and small works on instruments, L.R. Baggs Stagepro Element is quite easy to install (it comes with clear istruction too).
I also replaced the bridge saddle with a new one in graphite.
Honestly speaking I didn't thought such a result: Very nice tone, perfect balance, so much definition and harmonics too.
Now my old guitar sounds really great...
I'm really satisfied of L.R. Baggs Stagepro Element.

This is a great piece of kit that fit perfectly in my Breedlove guitar as a straight swap from my previous preamp.. I’m guessing it probably fits in a lot of crafter guitars too as they use a very similar sized preamp. I emailed l.r.bags directly before purchase and they were really helpful and answered within a day. Sounds really clean and full without a lot of the standard piezo quack gone. Great if you use IRs as there are a tonn specific to this preamp. As with most preamps, the inbuilt tunner isn’t as accurate as I would like hence the 4/5 for features.

This thing is Amazing. It sounds beautiful. I also have an LR Baggs Anthem in my other guitar which is beautiful with the extra mic but the volume on the stage pro element is much louder than anthem which surprised me. The anthem volume is far too low. You would probably need to invest in a separate pedal to raise it's volume. These stagepro element pickups are Amazing. Buy one i promise you wont be disappointed.
