The Ribbon Transducer by L.R. Baggs is a different approach to the problem of reproducing the sound of the acoustic guitar. The Ribbon is more of a microphone than an electrical pickup in that the Ribbon is sensitive to the body of the guitar as well as the strings. The RT has good feedback rejection and is said not to possess that "quacky" sound common to so many piezo-electric pickups. The Ribbon comes in two widths: .090 and .120 inches and provides even, consistant tone with no dead spots.

Pictured is the remote control unit mounted in the guitar's soundhole. The remote features tone and volume controls and connects to the new, improved RT preamp which is mounted within the guitar body non-destructively. By the way there is no need to modify your guitar in anyway or do any soldering or permanent installation to utilize the Ribbon Transducer system.
