Amazing pickup for my Martin M-36

Product Review
This pickup was easy to install in my Martin and it works perfectly. No modifications were necessary! I don’t know how Mr. Baggs did it, but this pickup is extremely true to the tone of the guitar. With the blend it’s very easy to find the “sweet spot” between the pickup and the mic.
The sound beats everything else I’ve tried. It crushes both expression systems from Taylor and my Fishman pickups. I will be installing this in both of my Taylors and my L’arrivée.
I honestly cannot express how happy I am with the anthem pickup. I read all the rave reviews and thought it was all hyperbole and people justifying their purchase. No! It’s the real thing. Get one!!!

I should note that I’m a long time LR Baggs user and fan of most all of their products, but this system is the best they offer.. You have plenty of control over your tone with the ability to blend between mic/pickup. The phase switch is nice too if you play at higher volumes and need every tool at your disposal for fighting feedback. Also, the little things like a battery meter can save you from some embarrassment of your guitar dying mid-song. The only negative I would give it would be that it doesn’t have an actual tone control.

I have this pickup system in all of my acoustic guitars (4) and it is awesome. System is easy to install, reliable and the sound is pure and clean. I tour non-stop across America performing more than 150 shows per year and my LR Baggs Anthem Pickup system has NEVER let me down. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

My credit isn’t he best and I don’t have a lot of money because “musician” the flexible payment plans are great and I’m very happy with pickup. Super easy to use and no feedback at all so far.

Does not work with Martin 000

The sound is perfect however on my Martin 000, the control doesn't mount correctly because the bracing is too thick for the control to straddle it. So Some modifications are required.

Had my luthier install this on my Guild D-20. He needed to drill 2 small holes under the bridge and modify a brace. It sounds incredible, no feedback. You can dial how much mic and element pickup you want. I set mine at 90% mic. There's also a small screw you can turn with a plastic driver to adjust the gain. No noticeable change in the unplugged sound either. Great quality.

Product Review
The LR Baggs Anthem pickup was everything I had hoped that it could be. After watching several videos I decided to pull the trigger! My acoustic is a 1991 Gibson J30, and I wanted to make sure I went with a pickup that would compliment the authentic tones of my guitar. I couldn’t have chose a better pickup.
The sound is so warm, and rich. I have already tracked some acoustic guitar in the studio and it turned out Amazing! I paired it up with a LR Baggs Venue and I feel like I am completely set with my acoustic rig!!!
I look forward to many years of use. Thank you LR Baggs for making a pickup that will become a staple in acoustic players rigs no mater what Style of music they play!!!

If you want your guitar to sound as good plugged in as it does straight acoustic then look no further. Trust all the reviews you’ve seen videos of and read and buy it already! You will not be disappointed in the anthem. Very natural sound, no quack, easy to install, what’s not to love!

Product Review
If you want the great acoustic guitar sounds like you hear on great records through a great sound system, this is it. I was blown away by the natural beauty of the sounds I got through a mid-range sound system. The original pickup in my guitar (J100X) sounded chingy to me, so I'd been using a Fishman Rare Earth Humbucker for years, but aesthetically the dangling cable wasn't working for me. After doing a little research I chose the Anthem, and though I was hesitant to pull the trigger, I am so happy I did. Worth every penny and then some, and AMS made it affordable. If you paid $$$ for an acoustic, don't cheat yourself with anything less.

I replaced the passive under bridge pickup in my LL-16D Yamaha with this system. The change was amazingly easy, no drilling or other mods. The difference in plugged in sound is breathtaking. I have 2 more guitars that will have this system installed in them before they see the stage again.

Another classic example of getting what you pay for...It sounds like my Guild jumbo (i.e., resonant, acoustic tone)at rock band volume! Easy to install if you have rudimentary wood-working skills. And coolest of all nearly no feedback at volume! Move over Pete!!
