Unlike typical under-saddleclassical guitar pickups that are dependent on string compression for their sound, the Element was engineered to mirror the soundboards 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 guitars most delicate nuances. Tracking the motion of the top rather than a direct string attack suppresses quack caused by compression and unlocks the Elements unrivaled dynamic range. The pickups minimalist construction lessens any influence on the acoustic properties and creates an intimate coupling between the pickup and guitar for the highest fidelity possible.
