Ever since acoustic guitars went electric, players have had to compromise on their sound. Gibson and Baggs set out to change that with HiFi DNA. This new collaboration combines Gibson’s legendary acoustic craftsmanship with proprietary Baggs technology to bring you closer to the true voice of your guitar than ever before.
More Colours to Paint With
HiFi DNA™ offers greater sensitivity to the movement of the guitar’s soundboard, delivering more dynamic realism, warmth, nuance, and tactile immediacy.
The Perfect Blend
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 output.
The Best of Both Worlds
HiFi DNA sensors are lighter, larger, more flexible, and omnidirectional. This enables the system to capture more of the natural voice and dynamic range of your Gibson guitar.
Your Sound in Higher Definition
A more responsive design with better-preserved fidelity translates to a more accurate amplified version of your guitar’s unique voice, with no loss of dynamic range.
“HiFi DNA is a quantum leap forward. Dual, independently optimized sensors with their own preamps keep the signal pure and deliver exceptional gain before feedback. The name ‘DNA’ speaks to what this new sensor can do. It’s lighter, more flexible, and more responsive. Less mass means more life, more breath, more truth from the guitar.”
Lloyd R. Baggs, Baggs Founder and Owner
“When we put Lloyd’s new pickup in our guitars, you hear the individual personality of each guitar. We’ve never been able to achieve that in amplified form until now, with Lloyd’s brilliance.”
Robi Johns, Senior Product Development Manager at Gibson Acoustic
HiFi DNA sees Gibson and Baggs™ collaborate in pursuit of a common goal: doing the right thing for guitar players. 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. HiFi DNA closes that gap, utilizing proprietary Baggs technology so the unique voice of your Gibson guitar can be heard like never before, from open-mic nights to the world’s biggest concert stages.
