It is everything it says it is

Purchased the Fishman Neo-D Humbucking pickup because the pre-amp/ mixer on my Yamaha acoustic/electric was working intermittent. The install takes as long as it takes you to put those two screws thru the two tabs,slide it in hole and snug it up. Plugged into my Marshall AS100D. Sound was solid and balanced. Best of all no batteries to change. Great job Fishman!

clean, easy, and efficient pickup

This pickup makes playing my Martin guitar twice as much fun. Using the slide with this pickup is also a blast.

Great sounding pickup and easy to use.

This humbucker is very easy to install. It took less than five minutes. More importantly, it sounds great - way better than the piezo electric pickups. I plugged it into an effects box and got a nice mix of accoustic steel string and electric guitar effects. It also, sounds better than using an electric guitar to mimic an accoustical guitar. The other great feature is that since it is a neck pickup at the top of the sound hole, I can finger pick without hitting a bridge pickup.

I use customer product reviews all the time when I make pruchases so I returning the favor.

Good pickup for the money

First I have to say the customer service at Sweetwater is top notch! I bought this pickup to use with my Martin D15. I gig with a band at least once per month and found that using a mic for the acoustic guitar was great for the natural true acoustic sound. However, I could never acheive the right balance and the guitar never sounded loud enough (feedback problems too!). So, I bought this on recommendation as I did not want to drill into my guitar. It's so easy to install - takes about all of 30 seconds. The sound is nice and balanced. The tone sounds somewhat acoustic, but not as pure as putting a mic in front of the guitar. The best thing to do is combine the pickup with a mic. I have yet to hear an acoustic guitar pickup that has the pure acoustic tone. But for volume if you play with a drummer like I do, it's a good idea to get a pickup. This one does the job and sounds pretty darn good.
