  • Belated NGD- 2019 Martin D-18 MD- just received a LR Baggs Anthem SL

    Small win- superior tone is about to be achieved! Two weeks ago I bought a used 2019 Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe that had a K&K pickup installed. When I received it 12 days ago the guitar was heavenly but the pickup just didn’t sound right. My luthier checked it out and apparently the K&K has issues connecting to the carbon fiber bridge plate that can’t be solved via repositioning, so we are putting in the correct LR Baggs Anthem- the new guitar is almost complete!

    How do you like the Anthem? I’m considering adding a pickup to my Taylor DN3 dreadnought. Does the Anthem affect the sound when your instrument is played unplugged?
