Compared to other brands in this price range, this one sounded the best to me and it was actually a little bit cheaper. I don't know how it compares to the high dollar pickup's of this type because after hearing this one, I couldn't see why I would need to spend more money. It has good high and low tones and makes it alot easier for me to record with. This web site seems to have the best price that I could find that was actually in stock.

Feature:
This is a very durable device, and it's design is beautiful. It looks great installed in my Fender. One thing...the cord can rub against the high E string. I just tacked it to the pickguard with a small adhesive stip.. ..but it would be nice to have it included.

Quality:
Compared to...OK, I won't name names...some other far more pricey units, shall we say, I belive you could drop-kick this unit from Philly to Frisco, and it would sound perfect. Well, maybe Philly to Trenton...at least..

Value:
VALUE! When you combine quality, great sound, and super price.. This unit defines value.

Desirability:
One of the questions I'm asked in this section is: "How would you rate the "sex appeal" of this product?" Well jeeze...that's a tough one..[Mindy!not NOW] Sorry. It's very sexy.

Sound:
I've have had a Fender F35 for 27 years. A nice piece..not great, but nice. I've always miced it when performing or recording...never owned a pick up..till now! Brothers and sisters, this lovely little pick up has REBORN my Fender!

Ease of Use:
Like I said, my Fender was REBORN after installing this unit. Installation took me 30 seconds. You can position (angle) this pickup however you choose, it sounds best on my Fender directly horizontal - towards the rear of the soundhole. Although, I can get some pretty groovy tonality when I angle it! For some players, this is a huge plus.

Support:
Haven't had any need to seek support, but I have no doubt it is as good as the unit.

Overall:
Just buy this unit, already. For under 40 bucks...are you kiddin'me?

Feature:
flops around in guitar hole, nothing to keep it still.

Quality:
pretty indistructable

Value:
way over priced for what it does and ease of use. would give anything to get my money back.

Desirability:
looks good and is sturdy, well constructed

Sound:
it works but you have to turn the gain up so much that it has a lot of white noise. and is loose in guitar hole and makes loud banging noise when it moves.

Ease of Use:
too much trouble.

Support:
could not return to pos and the company did not give me any viable answers.

Overall:
already bought a better one.

Feature:
I like the single coil pickups, and it's very durable.

Quality:
The Pro-Mag is good at what it does. It amplifies the sounds of an acoustic guitar for all to hear. It's not the most beautiful object, nor the best sounding of all acoustic amplifier, but it gets the job done. And, as I said, it is durable.

Sound:
It's not the purest sound possible from an acoustic guitar, because it picks up the sound from the sound hole, not the strings. In spite of that, the sound is pretty clear if amplified well.

Feature:
Features? Well, it's easy on, easy off, so good for many guitars or an open mic sitch. Having a cable that is 12' long always plugged into my guitar is a major pain in the ass on multiple levels and completely unprofessional. Oh yeah, it moves around in the soundhole also, hard to keep in one place for "fine tuning".

Quality:
This thing can't be built that well if it's buzzing form day one. I would never take it to a serious gig because it looks silly to have a plug coming out of your soundhole.

Value:
Not worth a dime.....

Desirability:
Looks ok enough, except for the cord coming out of the soundhole.

Sound:
Ok, sound is good, this pickup actually retains a lot of that natural guitar sound and seems to be fairly feedback resistant, but none of that matters because there is so much noise coming from this thing that it is unusable. Maybe if you are in a rock band with the drums overpowering the buzz, but other than that, forget it. I tried it on several amp, all the same. It seems to have a noise canceling circuit because when it's plugged in, no noise, but as soon as I start playing, there is that buzz. Terrible. Unusable. I will buy a better pickup now, maybe an lr baggs which I have on another of my guitars.

Ease of Use:
I could not get a usable sound from this product. Tone was good, too much noise. Manual was clear. Very easy installation an fortunately easy uninstillation.

Support:
I bought it at a local music store, they are cool and it was easy to return, way easier than returning something online.

Value:
You get what you pay for, i.e., not much.

Sound:
Sorry guys, but this is the noisiest thing I've ever used. I'm currently using it with a Martin D-12 and our soundman is tearing his hair out trying to cut down the hizz and buzz coming from this thing. Save your money and buy something better.

Quality:
When I plug into my amp, I get a constant high static sound, and its definitely the pickup!! when i move the pickup in certain directions the sound softens but is always there!! I am not happy with the product and being the second one I have tried i do not recommend it.

Sound:
I hate to write bad reviews but I've had two already, returned one, the other is bad too
