Imagine one guitar that is perfect for blues or rock and
roll, has the ultimate clean sound, is great for jazz
and has a great acoustic sound without feedback. Sounds
like an expensive dream, but chances are that you already
own this guitar. It's your beloved Strat. And all that
it has been waiting for to unleash this hidden potential
is our vibrato bridge pickup, the X-Bridge from L.R. Baggs.
When we decided to apply our fifteen years of transducer
design experience to amplifying the electric guitar, we
were faced with the task of first choosing a guitar and
then a bridge. The Strat was a pretty obvious choice.
But when we interviewed guitar makers about bridges, we
found that there was no existing bridge that had the qualities
that we were looking for. So we designed our own. By starting
with a clean slate, we did not have to shoehorn our pickups
into an off-the-shelf bridge. We could then design the
bridge and pickups as an integrated system without compromise.
The product of our research, the X-Bridge is beautiful,
responsive and dynamic, and has a jaw-dropping sound that
redefines what
a Strat can do.
