- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024Exceptional quality pickup. Beautiful sound, I thought it might hinder my finger picking, not at allColor: mapleVerified PurchaseA high quality pickup. Beautiful sound.
Did not hinder my finger picking at all.
Absolutely satisfied.
So easy to just pop in and start playing.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2024Color: mapleVerified PurchaseUsing it on a acoustic steel string guitar and easy to install and sounds good.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023Color: mapleVerified PurchaseMany have commented on how good my guitar sounds; including a person who has a customized guitar. So fidn’t want to risk someone doing a bad job of installing electronics on my guitar so I bought these.
Works very well and I don’t have to worry about batteries.
But I have to admit, it is a bit troublesome putting it in and taking it out twice a week (once for rehearsal and for Sunday service).
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021Color: mapleVerified PurchasePretty 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2024Color: mapleVerified PurchaseLikes: easy to use. Works has no hum..looks nice
Dislikes My D 28 HD Martin no longer sounds like a Martin and I just put new strings on it. SOunds like a 100.00 guitar from a pawn shop. Wire is in the way to keep from serious jamming..you are always concerned about the wire AND this effects my worship. Just being brut tally honest. I returned it the next day. Brother Chuck
- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2010Color: mapleVerified PurchaseI bought the Seymour Duncan because of their reputation and price.
I cut the cord, so that I could solder it to a strap button jack, to make a more permanant connection on my Washburn 12 string. With the extra cord, I added a second 1/4" jack to the leftover cord and now have a very nice extra 10 foot cord.
The Hum bucking/noise cancelling pick up works so well. It sounds more like a miked acoustic than an acoustic with a magnetic pickup!
If there had been some sort of volume control on it, or if I was smart enough to install one on the guitar, I just might be perfect, but I really didn't want to make any holes in the Washburn.
If I ever wanted to put the Washburn back to original, I can just remove the pickup and replace the strap button.
It works very well for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019Color: mapleVerified PurchaseI have a beautiful Martin acoustic that I'm just not ready to drill a hole in to install a pickup. I usually play my acoustic electric when I play out, but I have this great guitar that I only play at home because it isn't amplified, so I decided to try a sound hole pickup.
Easy to install, good clean sound, there is a little bit of a hum depending on the amp I'm using (but I think the connection on my small amp is loose). I had a nice clean sound for my event, and I plan to continue using this pickup for future gigs.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2021Color: mapleVerified PurchaseI 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds Amazing !!
Color: mapleVerified PurchaseAdded to my Martin Guitar and I am super happy with it. Very warm sounding ( Not tinny at all ). My only suggestion would be if the cord had a female end and it attached to the strap attachment and a volume and tone control. But for the price Im super happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buen producto que te saca de apuros
Color: mapleVerified PurchaseCompré esta pastilla sin estar muy convencido, pero ahora me doy cuenta de que es una excelente adquisición, el precio es contenido, es una pastilla de doble bobinado (no hace ruido) y se quita y pone en un segundo.
Es la mejor opción para electrificar una guitarra acústica y el resultado es mejor de lo esperado, eso si mejor conectar a un amplificador de acústica, yo la conecto a un Roland AC 60 y suena perfecta, sin parásitos y bastante natural.
Me falta probarla con una caja de inyección para conectarme directamente a la mesa a ver que tal.
Recomiendo su compra, seguro que las hay mejores pero a este precio lo dudo.
