  • Gets the job done
Color: Natural
Pretty good product overall but there aren’t many other options, especially for this price range. The pickup certainly doesn’t cancel all noise but it is good enough for me. The sound level is uneven across the string. The high strings are much louder. Adjusting how the pickup sits in the guitar (move it closer to the low strings and farther away from the high strings) helps a little bit but it doesn’t level it out completely. A good amp/EQ will help address this. My biggest issue is the volume level overall. It’s not as loud as I’d like. I use a portable amp while playing out with my acoustic. That amp has more than enough volume when used with my other acoustic guitars that have other types of internal pickups installed in them. It’s loud enough to play with a full band with drums. This product is not loud enough using the same amp. I have to plug into a pedal to boost the volume. It works well with that setup. I already had a compressor pedal and a volume boost pedal that boost the volume well when used individually, but I wouldn’t be thrilled if I had to purchase a pedal to achieve a playable volume with this pickup, using my portable amp. Otherwise it’s good. The pickup chord is plenty lengthy. It does not require batteries. ... show more

  • Works great in my old flat top
I bought it to use with my old Gibson flat top. It does exactly what I was hoping it would do.

  • Beautiful sound!
Color: Natural
Used this for my acoustic guitar at church. Has a beautiful sound. No humming. Easy to insert and remove without having any tools or having to loosen strings. Not too tall, doesn’t get in the way when strumming. Perfect solution for amplifying sound without having to modify my guitar.

  • Louder than the Fishman Neo-D Single-coil, but decided not to keep it
Color: Natural
This pickup was notably louder than my Fishman Neo-D (single-coil version) and it was immediately apparent when I plugged it into my amp. It's a humbucking unit (which is typically warmer in tone) but I had absolutely no problem dialing it up to a brighter tone with room to spare. I ended-up returning it though for the following reasons. 1. Getting it fitted into the soundhole of my OM was a bit of a struggle. I worried that I might damage my guitar. 2. I struggled to get it to seat evenly under the strings. This would create imbalances in the string volume. 3. It could only fit in the center of my soundhole. While testing it with some fingerstyle tunes, it felt like my nails would occasionally tap onto the pickup. This was distracting. The Neo-D is narrower and could be seated closer to the top of the soundhole. I'm sure this design works for other guitars and other players. Sadly, it didn't work for me. ... show more

  • Nice sound but not very loud
Color: Natural
This is easy to install. Has a long enough chord and nice sound but in use with my acoustinic 15 very quiet. Tried with a spark to record with but output too low to register. I guess an acoustic electric is the way to go.

  • Nice looking pickup for my acoustic.
Color: Natural
I wanted to make my acoustic a bit louder so I checked this out. It's a little more pricey than some of the non-name brand plastic alternatives, but I figured it would be hard to go wrong with Seymour Duncan. The installation is pretty simple once you've done it a couple times. The pickup fits snuggly in the sound hole and the cable is amply long to run to an amplifier. Crystal clear tone, no buzz or feedback. It comes with a cheap bag to store it in while not in use. Overall I'm happy with the purchase! ... show more
