Unlike typical undersaddle acoustic guitar pickups that are dependent on string compression 
for their sound, the Element was engineered to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement 
as you play. 

At the heart of the pickup, a flexible film sensor only 2 thousandths of an inch thick picks 
up the guitar’s most delicate nuances. Tracking the motion of the top rather than a direct 
string attack suppresses “quack” caused by compression and unlocks the Element’s
 unrivaled dynamic range. The pickup’s minimalist construction lessens any influence 
on the acoustic properties and creates an intimate coupling between the pickup and 
guitar for the highest fidelity possible.

Paua is the Maori (native New Zealand) name for a species of abalone whose 
shells are the most beautiful and colorful. Luthiers often use Paua shell 
for the inlays on their most special guitars. Fine jewelry crafted from the 
shells are known as Paua Pearls.
When we came up with this new finish, its dazzling iridescence reminded us of 
paoa pearls, and so that became its name. It uses the same durable titanium process 
as our other Capo Royale models, so its eye-popping, color-shifting beauty will last 
practically forever. And like the Paua shell itself, no two are exactly alike. The 
patterns of color occur randomly, so no one else’s Paua Pearl capo will look exactly 
like yours!
