LR Baggs HiFi electronics
This non-invasive dual bridge-plate sensor system captures string energy and top movement for amplified sound.

Independent shopping perspective
Hand-built in Bend, Oregon, the Roots Dreadnought is a right-handed acoustic-electric with a solid Sitka spruce top, Honduran mahogany back and sides, and sound-optimized X-bracing. Its dreadnought body is described as providing low-end presence and sustain while the hand-voiced build keeps notes articulate under delicate fingerpicking or full strumming. The Slim V mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, 25.5-inch scale, and 1.75-inch nut width shape the playing platform. LR Baggs HiFi electronics provide volume and tone controls for amplified use, and a deluxe brown hardshell case is supplied.
