"Simply the most amazing sound for the money!!"

Feature:
Not much as far as useful features. I mean, $70, what do you expect. Just install and plug-n-play.

Quality:
Couldn't rate this a 10 cause I've only had it a day. But so far, it looks to be a great piece for the money.

Value:
For the money, it's by far the best soundhole pickup I've heard.

Desirability:
Nothing fancy or "sexy" about it. It is what it is. It stinks that the cord dangles out of the hole, but it doesn't get in my way, just looks goofy.

Sound:
The sound of this pickup is clear and crisp! Absolutely no humming or noise. I installed it on my Ovation deep bowl and plugged it into my Kustom amp and wow!!! If someone were in the other room, they wouldn't be able to tell if it were a soundhole pickup or a high dollar under the saddle pickup. Excellent string balance too. My guitar lost NONE of it's natural balance, tone, brightness, and clarity by plugging this in. Amazing!!

Ease of Use:
Simple install. I had to remove the top cork pieces on the clamps cause my action is really low. The strings touched the pickup, but once I took the cork pieces off, I installed it and had plenty of clearance.

Support:
So far, no need

Overall:
For what I paid, I'm not complaining yet. If it lasts 3-4yrs, I'll be happy and probably buy another one.

"The Fishman NEO-D is the best value I've seen in an in Hole Acoustic Pick-up"

Value:
The best value for an in hole pick-up!

Desirability:
Nice slim line for an in hole pick-up

Sound:
I am using this on a Simon and Patrick Twelve String, and have found it to deliver a very believable amplified Acoustic sound. It seems well valanced around the range and pitch of my playing and draws out the octave differential well. I like the slim lines and have no problem with feed back or noise with this unit. I would buy another one!
