"wretched horrible sound, but easy to use, not too expensive"

Feature:
just a pickup and a cord.

Quality:
Won't fall apart too easily but it sucks in the first place in terms of tone and response.

Value:
ok I guess since it's really cheap but save up for an i-beam or something in that range if you can. Even those aren't great but way better than this piece of lame $hit

Desirability:
Come on

Sound:
hard to imagine anyone selling a worse sounding pickup. Really uneven string response, really harsh and unrealistic. Also either spikes or drops out in terms of dynamics. Of course positioning is a big part of it but you don't have a lot of flexibility with a soundhole-mounted pickup.

Support:
don't know

Overall:
Save up for something that doesn't sound like crap, if you can...but if this is really all you can possibly afford and you aren't a serious musician at all, maybe it is okay.
