I ordered this as a gift for my brother, so I honestly can't speak to the quality, but the team, communication, and customer service were awesome. Would order from this company again. Thank you so much! :)

I got this for my Loar and it works great. Very easy to install. High quality.

I installed this on a Loar F style Mando. Very easy install. Used the putty and put it behind the bridge pretty much following the instructions. Ran the extra wire under the jack on top so no rattles, works great! Wasn't too concerned about the carpenters jack being pulled off, using a wireless no cable pulling on the jack.
Didn't have any issues zeroing in the sound at all, a little eq and that was it, playing live.
I run this into a Zoom ac2 and into either a Fishman Artist or the aux channel in my Bose L1 pro 8. Very easy to eq and excellent sound. I will add that the Zoom is an excellent unit with all the goodies that you could want or need.
Very pleased with everything that I've mentioned in this review. All great pieces of gear! Highly recommend this pickup for any Mando.

I have used this for over a year and absolutely love it. I use it on my Eastman mandolin playing through a Fishman Artist acoustic amp. You need to Take some time and move the pickup around and try different locations to find the sweet spot. A difference of an inch or two makes a huge difference. Another tip to pass on, regarding mounting the output jack. Wrap a rubber band around the metal bar that has a piece of cork on it, the piece that holds onto the edge at the backside of the mandolin body, It not only helps protect the finish on the mandolin, it provides a very secure grip with no worry of the Jack mount slipping. I love my LR Baggs pickup. Have patience and find the sweet spot, it sounds as good as using a microphone. I’ve recently added a Radial Tonebone PZ-Deluxe pre amp pedal between the mandolin and the amp and it now sounds better live than any other mandolin setup that I’ve ever heard.
