Anthem SL:

Overview

Most pickup systems capture the string vibrations through an under-saddle piezo pickup. When plugged in, the actual tonal uniqueness of those instruments is inconsequential. This is why most acoustic-electric guitars sound similar to all others and not unlike an electric guitar.

Breedlove worked with L.R. Baggs to develop a custom Anthem Tru-Voice electronics system. The noise cancelling microphone rides inside the body above the bridgeplate to capture the true tone and character of the instrument. The Anthem Tru-Voice System is custom tuned to each Breedlove Voice model. As a result, the amazing tone and balance of a Breedlove Voice is unchanged whether it’s unplugged in an intimate setting or amplified for a crowd.
