Quick and Easy to install... clear and smooth sound

This unit slipped right into place. One of the only units of this type that I have used but impressive right off the bat.

Sounds good to me

got it in my 86' Alvarez Yairi , I didn't want to drill or modify anything. slides right in. I'm sure there are better sounding out there, but for the money, its great. Not much hum, but it is a single coil, not dual, or hum-bucking. i prefer these over the bridge pickups also. I run it through a crate taos dsp acoustic 30 watt & a Peavey classic 50 4-10 & sometimes I get feedback through my tube amp, but thats to be expected. if your worried about noise, get a pre-amp pedal with noise-gate. this pickup has no pre-amp or volume control, it is a basic design, but I still like it, it is comparable to the seymour-duncan for the same price.

Jamie is MISTAKEN

For the price of this pickup vs. the rest of the competition this pickup works great, if you're planing on pickin with Chet Atkins on the stage ot the Grand Ole Oprey then yes may not be suitable for all of us giggin' and playin' at home cant find a better deal! I've even strapped to a $50.00 Mandolin and WOW!!

No hum?

It sounds horrible through the few sound systems I've tried it with, and it's really noisy as well. It says it's double shielded, but it was picking up some sort of magnetic interference. The hum got louder if I faced certain directions, and disappeared if the guitar was faced downwards. As for natural sound, part of the problem is that speakers normally make acoustics sound kinda "meh" but this pickup has no bass, no sparkly highs, just a lot of high mids for "clarity" but the dynamic range is very limited and sounds dead through many speakers.
