This Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500 that I traded for, has an L.R Baggs Anthem pickup system

This thing is unreal good.
For an acoustic guitar, nothing else comes close.
It sounds like playing into a good microphone, and records very well.

I've played some Epiphone acoustics that were as good as any acoustic I've played.

I was only talking about the pickup system Specifically.
Not a guitar measuring contest, I can't afford to keep up with some of you guys.
This Baggs deal is really good though, and is worth the extra money.
Honestly though, I've got about 500 bucks in this guitar, and it's really good. I doubt that you could convince me, that your whatever is $3,000 better.
Doesn't really matter, you only have to convince yourself.

Playin earlier tonight with some folks, and it seemed like things were smoother and fell into place.
I don't care, let 'em all talk shite.

Chinese builders (or Indonesian or Korean) get it right sometimes too.
I have a BlueRidge that followed me home from Guitar Center. Was just a good day in that Chinese factory in 2006. Whenever I bring that guitar out people ask what it is.

I don't think this guitar came with this set up. I think it's an aftermarket addition.

If you love Element, you need to check out Anthem if you Baggs out another axe. Anthem combines the undersaddle Element system (big lows, big presence) with the Lyric internal condenser mic system (full spectrum of mids), and you blend the two for absolutely the best of both worlds.
Baggs make two versions, Anthem and Anthem SL, the latter being the same transducers but fewer features for set-and-forget convenience and lower street price. It is the most popular LR Baggs system I sell and install and by a huge margin, and it's what I have in my old Hummingbird.
This is a photo of Anthem.
SL is smaller due to fewer features and subsequently more discreet (another plus for many players)

You know , I said "Element", but this is The Anthem SL.
I typed "Element" because I had been looking at those lately.
Yeah, this Anthem setup is incredible, and it's the lower priced one, it only has the volume control, but it has the little screw That I think you can use to change the mix between the undersaddle Pickup and the mic.
Your bottom photo is exactly what this has.
I'm glad you already know how good they are. I'm just findin out.

If you have SL, game over haha. And yep, the tiny blade pot is a blend control.

I'm just joking with you but yes, the Anthem is very good.
I feel like the K&K Pure Mini gives the mpst "real" sound of the guitar but I think the Anthem is the best "all around" acoustic pickup.

Oh, I took the liberty of posting your demo video for the P90 telly pickups on a telecaster forum, I hope you get flooded with orders, They sound fantastic, but kind of slide a set for me over to the side, so I don't have to be on a waiting list when I finally have the extra money

The Martin I bought has that exact same system in it. I didn’t want it but nice to have it.

I'm going to try doing some recording with this today. I think it's going to really simplify things, it sounds that good.
