The LR Baggs M1 Passive is a soundhole pickup that reimagines what a magnetic pickup can do for your acoustic guitar. Built around LR Baggs’ ingenious body-sensitive humbucking design, it unlocks both the string signal and the guitar’s own top resonance to deliver a rich, dynamic amplified tone that feels alive and expressive. Unlike conventional stacked humbuckers that simply cancel noise, the M1’s lower coil is tuned to contribute musically, adding presence and realism to your plugged-in sound while keeping hum and feedback to a minimum. Adjustable pole pieces let you dial in balanced string-to-string response, so whether you’re fingerpicking delicate passages or strumming full chords, your instrument’s voice stays clear and musical.

Designed for players who want professional amplification with no batteries or onboard electronics, the M1 Passive is completely passive yet highly expressive, making it ideal for both stage and studio use. Installation is simple and non-invasive: you can mount it using the supplied strapjack harness or plug it in with the 10-foot external cable with no permanent modifications to your prized instrument. The built-in gold-plated 1/8″ jack makes removal or swapping between guitars a snap, and the quiet, hum-free operation gives you confidence in even the most demanding live situations. Stop by Haggerty’s Music to hear how the M1 can breathe new life into your acoustic guitar setup.
