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.
