Feature:
I had to have the pickup re-fitted into the guitar twice before the sound was picking up. Luthiers complain about the difficulty. The battery replacement is also difficult. The lack of a strap lock-on makes it exctremely risky to use a strap.

Quality:
It is a good quality product but not well designed for use

Value:
Since the competeitots are the same this one is a case of you get what you pay for ..

Desirability:
It is good and has a name. ONCE all the fitting and batteries and screwing around is DONE .. THEN it is trouble free ... except for a guitar strap

Sound:
The sond is "decent" but not great and it took a lot of Luthering to get it properly place (and money) .. but the worst I have not resolved -- straps will not stay on it .. seven with special (expensive) guitar straps there is not way to *lock* the strap on (and it tends to come off) without disabling the microphone jack. That could have been resolved with a flared end, but they did not choose to do that. It is very risky to use a strap on this product (kiss you guitar good bye -- or find another way.

Ease of Use:
Noty an easy productt to use (other than sitting with the amp next to you)

Support:
Guitars generally have poor support and need a lot of expensive tinkering to get them right

Overall:
I am searching for a way to keep a guitar strap on and I do not have one at this point. It may be a long and arduous search
