LR Baggs M80 or M1 with enlarged sound hole?

[brandon]

Anyone know if either of these sound hole pickups will work with the enlarged sound holes of the Larrivee traditional series guitars? I'm looking at possibly ordering one for my OMV-50 but would hate to get it and it be too small.

Thanks!

I don't believe they fit but maybe a fellow member with one can measure for you.

Wouldn't it fit if you just moved it closer to the edge of the soundhole? I guess it depends on how enlarged the soundhole is. I've never seen a guitar with an enlarged soundhole,so I don't know for sure.

It only goes so far foward,its needs a certain amount of wood so the clips can grab hold.

When I have more time to mess with it I'll take the M-1 out of my OM-03R and try it for size on my 000-50 and let you know.

Thanks a bunch! I sent LR Baggs an email today to ask but I fear it may be sometime before I hear back.

I took the M-1 out of my OM-03R and installed it in my 000-50 to check for fit.   It has to be moved towards the neck as shown here.   It seems to work just fine in this placement.
The 000-50 is equipped with a K&K pure western which I prefer for that guitar though.

Great! Thanks for doing that. The LR Baggs guy emailed me back a few minutes ago saying he thought it would fit. Nice to know that it will.

Thanks again!

Thought I'd follow up on the M80. I've had it installed on my OMV50 for a couple months now and I love it! The bass response is bar none to any other pickups I've used (I haven't tried the lyric yet). Fits perfect in the enlarged sound hole and stays secure. I'll probably be replacing my lr baggs VTC in the D60 with one as well unless I get the itch to try out the lyric.

I have the M1 and it seems like it would fit BETTER in larger sound-holes. I had it installed in my SCGC OM and it was very tight getting it in.
