LR Baggs Element VTC (Element Active System with Volume & Tone Control) acoustic guitar pickup system. This unit was carefully uninstalled from a factory Gibson J-45.


Because it is an official factory Gibson component, the endpin cylinder carries the official "ELEMENT™ Plus" branding. It features the complete active preamp system, soundhole control pod, and all original wiring.

LR Baggs "Element Plus" Active Endpin Preamp Jack


Flexible Undersaddle Transducer (Element Sensor)

Soundhole-Mounted Dual Thumbwheel Control


Module (Volume & Tone)


9V Battery Harness & Snap Connector


Nylon 9V Battery Pouch

Key Features & Specifications:


Active System: Includes an onboard, discrete Class-A endpin preamp powered by a 9V battery for a clean, strong, low-impedance signal straight to your amp or PA.


VTC Circuitry: Soundhole module features dedicated Volume and Tone controls along with built-in dynamic low-frequency compression to tame unwanted bottom-end quack and boominess.


Non-Invasive Installation: Soundhole thumbwheel controls mount discretely inside the soundhole edge, keeping your instrument's body free of cuts or external modifications.


Gibson OEM Factory Component: Genuine Gibson Montana factory pull—ideal as a direct replacement for Gibson owners or an upgraded active system for any flat-top acoustic guitar.
