Your voice, in higher definition

Ever since acoustic guitars went electric, players have faced the same compromises. No matter how great your guitar sounds at home or in the studio, the color, character, and nuance get lost on stage. Gibson and Baggs™ set out to change that. HiFi DNA™ closes that gap, utilizing proprietary Baggs technology so the unique voice of your Gibson acoustic guitar can be heard like never before, from open-mic nights to the world’s biggest concert stages.

HiFi DNA uses dual, independently-optimized sensors that mount to the underside of the guitar’s bridge plate. These new sensors are lighter, larger, more flexible, and omnidirectional, enabling the system to capture more of the guitar’s natural voice, including both string detail and body resonance, with remarkable accuracy. Each HiFi DNA sensor employs its own dedicated, custom-voiced, Class A studio-quality preamp, maintaining purity and articulation before blending into a perfectly optimized mono output. HiFi DNA captures more warmth, detail, dynamic range, and personality while preserving the unique character of your instrument. And unlike most bridge-plate pickup designs, HiFi DNA delivers similar gain before feedback to under-saddle pickup systems.

The low-mass sensors do not require any gluing, drilling, or other modifications to the guitar’s bridge or saddle, making the installation truly peel-and-stick and preserving the true tone of your guitar, both plugged in and unplugged. Individual volume and tone controls are included, which discreetly mount at the edge of the soundhole using peel-and-stick tape, where they’re quick and easy for the player to access while remaining all but invisible to the audience.

With HiFi DNA, you’ll hear the individual personality of your guitar loud and clear, whether you’re amplifying it or playing it unplugged, with all the character, warmth, dynamics, and responsiveness to your playing touch intact. It’s your sound, in HD. Order a HiFi DNA Advanced Bridge Plate Pickup System today and discover for yourself why it is a quantum leap forward in acoustic guitar amplification.
