Justin Townes Earle

“I got tired of fans coming up and asking me what kind of guitar I was playing, and having to tell them it was a $6,000 guitar,” Earle says. “I wanted a working guitar, where I could tell people, ‘It’s under $1,000. And you can easily find one.’ So I just bought a Loar LO-16, and that’s what I’m playing. It’s a small-body guitar with a pickguard, similar to the Gibson L-00, and it’s loud. Really loud. It’s got a great balance, not too high and not too low, with a neck that’s wide without being super-wide. As far as playing goes, the string reaction is great, and there’s absolutely no delay. You strike the string and hear the note immediately.” -- From Acoustic Guitar Magazine September 2012

"The M1 gives me control like no other. The warmth of the transducers complements the magnetic pickup perfect. Soft and slow, or fast and dirty the M1 is clear as a bell." - Earle in an article on lrbaggs.com

According to L.R. Baggs's website Earle uses a M80 besides his M1 to pickup his acoustic guitars.
