"not amazing, but better than the rest"
Feature:one cheesy volume knob. Not enough length on the threaded part that goes through your guitar body - BARELY got mine to cling on by a couple threads.
Quality:
Some parts are solid, but wire-securers are a little weak, and the volume knob is pretty weak.
Value:
overall still probably worth the 100 bucks cause nobody else out there seems able to make any kind of semi-decent sounding acoustic pickup - this one is closest for under 100 I think, but don't expect a miracle.
Desirability:
It's a small piece of metal with some messy wires...but you never see it anyway
Sound:
Positioning is the trick and it's not easy. The best I could get in 3 tries results in a decent sound - way way better than those nasty soundhole quackers - but still not an especially natural acoustic sound. It still sounds like an acoustic guitar with a preamp - somewhat artificial.
Support:
don't know
Overall:
Should last a long long time but wish it sounded better to begin with. Overall not bad compared to what else is out there.
