Facil de colocar en la guitarra acustica y ajustar.Sonido bueno por lo menos para mi y ademas al ser una pastilla puedes facilmente subir mas el volumen y añadir efectos de pedarela sin que se acople etc.No va a sonar como la guitarra amplificada con un mmicrofono que es lo ideal pero el sonido que da es calido bueno tiene digamos un toque acustico depende con que mezclador o amplificador lo conectes.

I'm no expert on guitars, but regularly gig with my £350 Farida acoustic.My piezo finally gave out, so I decided to install a soundhole acoustic pickup and this model was recommended by a much more experienced guitarist friend.I did not install it myself, but I just wanted to post that I think the sound quality provided by this pickup is much better than the piezo I had previously. It's warmer, brighter and cleaner.I haven't had to change the batteries yet, so cannot comment on how much of a hassle that will be.

Parts were shattered everywhere in the box. I had to hunt for screws to assemble the unit

Installed this in a OO build. It works well, and has a pleasing natural sound.I was concerned about mounting it in a smaller bodied acoustic. Buy no worries, all is good.

Muy bien sonido

Currently using this on my Martin OO-28 with great success. Tone is very true to the acoustic guitar. Not as tinny sounding as others I have used in the past. (I go way back to the original Barcus-Berry stuck to the top of the acoustic guitar with putty). Keep the on-board volume control turned all the way up and work out your amp etc. settings from there. I experienced very low susceptibility to feedback this way. In addition, the pickup does not seem to be very sensitive to my touching the cable while the pickup is mounted. I am hanging the cord from the guitar's soundhole since I don't want a permanent installation. I am routing the output into a Fender Frontman 65R amp after my pedalboard which most importantly includes an MXR Dyna Comp compressor at the top of the chain. I use a small amount of compression at all times. I am impressed by how well the signal from this pickup can be altered with Chorus, Phase, Delay and a 12-string simulator. Haven't done much experimentation with distortion but I am adding just a bit of drive on the amp.

It really has a good acoustic sound. It is true that I have to put volume really high to use it, but in my only 15w amp sounds great.Don't worry about the type of sound, you can always use the amp Equalizer to modify that. I put more treble for some songs and more bass for others for example, that's not an issue.I choose this one over the L.R Baggs just because this one has no feedback, and I prefer de Humbucker pick ups.Really easy to install, it doesn't bother you when playing, and ir really captures a good acoustic sound, not that electric sound most pick ups have.This is a safe purchase.

I like the fact that it can be "partially" installed with the cord coming out of the sound hole or it can be easily installed on a more permanent basis by cutting the cord to length and running it inside the guitar body through the end pin hole (which will have to be enlarged a bit). Either way, once plugged in, it sounds great. This pickup maintains the great acoustic sound of my guitar, a Blueridge BR-160. I installed some Fishman "under the saddle" pickups in a few Martin guitars and this pickup sounds just as good, if not better. If you don't mind the pickup visible in the sound hole, this is the way to go. Another nice thing about it is the ease of changing out the batteries as compared to the undersaddle type pickups where the batteries are attached to the inside body of the guitar.

As with all products, some reviews are critical and some are full of praise. Based on the high ratings and several reviews from pros mentioning how good the sound was, I went the extra from around $79 to get this one, and I love it so much that I shortly bought a second, so I could put one in each of my two beautiful sounding Martin acoustics. I play them through a Roland Mobile Cube (the little short and wide one you can find here), and am extremely pleased with the sound as well as what I can get out of the Roland. It has several choices of effects, including plain acoustic, electric, over drive, distortion, chorus, delay, and reverb, and PLENTY loud enough for the small place I live in; even better with phones on!Mounting tip: You can probably mount it without pulling the strings, unless you want to change them. I had just put on new sets and wanted to keep them on. Just loosen the tension up as much as you can without the string popping out of the tuning pegs. You may be able to reach your arm through the sound hole to mount the output jack; I did on the six string. But the 12 string was more difficult, so after loosening the strings, I carefully pulled out the pin and removed the string, put it aside, then re-inserted in when the job was done.For drilling, use the stepped type drill bit which will drill multiple hole sizes, chucking it (for the Martins) so the drill just catches about 3/8" to 1/2" of the shank; otherwise, the drill chuck will hit the guitar before the drill goes all the way through. You will need to go all the way up to 1/2" hole size. DO NOT TRY TO USE A REGULAR or any other type bit, as you will almost certainly split the wood. Not nice!BE SURE TO PUT TAPE ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR GUITAR around the hole, so if you do slip, the damage will be limited; and go nice-and-slow, with constant speed, on a the LOW speed setting for a cordless. Put a small bit of Beeswax on the outside of the bit and the cutting edge to reduce friction, "grabbing," and make for a MUCH better cut.Here's the tricky part: find an old wooden knitting needle, wooden dowel, a very long bamboo chopstick, about 14" long. At the business end, you want 1/4" diameter and of course, smaller than 1/2" at the large end. With everything ready, unwind the pickup wire fully, letting the pickup dangle on the table top (hope you put a towel under there), and with one hand put the output jack through the sound hole. Now with the other hand, insert the 1/4" knitting needle, dowel, whatever, through the hole you drilled and up towards the Sound hole, where you will insert it, while twisting slightly, into the pickup jack - the part that will go through the hole. Smoothly pull the knitting needle or dowel, etc, back through the hole (you did remember to remove the nuts which hold it in the hole before starting, right?), and twist slightly to remove the jack from the dowel.This turned out to be so easy that I did it several times until I had the exact length of the mounting nuts perfect. So, tighten down the assembly with your fingers (no locktite, please), mount the pickup in the hole, then shorten up the cord and wrap it up with a Velcro type, multi-use fastener for easy removal and battery replacement. Put the strings back in, tighten the tuners, tune - be sure to adjust the sound level to "high" as the manual suggests - then plug and PLAY!

This is not a bad product, just not great. As soon as I received it, I installed it on my custom made Grit Laskin Guitar, and played with it for over two hours. Installation was fast, and only took a couple of minutes. My problems with it are 3 fold: #1. Sounds just a bit "tinny" = too much on the high end, and not an equal amount of bass. #2. A small complaint is that you have to dismantle the entire installation just to change the batteries, and I couldn't get mine to work in "passive" mode. #3. And the biggest complaint, is that the volume control is difficult to get to when you're performing on stage. You have to stick your finger in the hole on the top side of the strings and fumble around trying to change the volume which is very sensitive so all of sudden you can be too loud or too soft. Like I said, it is not a bad product, just not top notch, and definitely not for professionals. If you're just fooling around at home, or recording at home, it is fine, and will do the job for you. BUT!!! If you're a pro, you'll want to spend double the money and get an L. R. Baggs M-80. The M-80 gives you the truest sound (unbelievable), works in passive mode, and is very easy to change the volume control. Sincerely, Doc

I have a seagull cedarwood acoustic, in which the pickup gave out a few months back after 10 years of wear, tear and travel. I removed the pickup and began hunting for a decent replacement. The Fishman Rare Earth series seem to have almost universally positive reviews, and although the 'blended' model is thought to be the best, it is not currently available on amazon. The humbucker model is thought of as 2nd best, and I must say I think it is excellent. It is easy to install, and sounds great, giving a very well rounded EQ, not the overdriven mid-heavy sound of a standard seagull pickup, or the laser-beam-through-the-brain treble overkill of an electro-taylor, but just a very natural, believable acoustic sound, which is versatile enough to be tweakable in any EQ direction once it hits the amp or mixing board. Good stuff, which I would definitely reccomend.
