Sound: You Buy A Pickup For The Sound. This Pickup Sounds Amazing, Not Only On Larger Amps (100+Watts) But On My Fender 25R 25Watt As Well. It Handles Distortion, Eq, Reverb, And Effects Without A Problem. The Polepieces Can Be Adjusted For Higher Output, Too. Quality: When I First Took The Pickup Out Of The Box, I Noticed It Was Really Deep And Heavy, But Also Really Solid And Sturdy. Its Solid Design Will Probably Last Longer Than Your Guitar. Value: Although More Expensive Than Some Other Pickups, The Quality Is Un-Paralleled, So The Pickup Is Truly Worth The Money. It Can Easily Be Compared In Sound Quality And Design To Pickups Costing Double Its Price. Overall: Its Just A Really Good Pickup. Its Easily Installed, Fairly Priced, And Sounds Awesome. Definitely A Must Buy For Your Acoustic If Your Planning On Making It Loud.

Sound: Matched with the Baggs Para DI it's very good. If you must plug in, this is a good solution. Feature: I don't like batteries, blenders, volume knobs, etc. So, the ease of use of this pickup are excellent for me. The adjustable poles are nice, I did do a bit of that. The included cables are high quality and work well. Ease of Use: About as straightforward is it could possibly be. Don't you always appreciate a smart design? Yeah, me too. So you'll appreciate the M1. Quality: Looks excellent. Feels excellent. Sounds fantastic. Construction seems to be a very high quality. Value: Sometimes you regret a purchase or think twice about the money spent. I never felt that way about the M1. It's truly an excellent value. Manufacturer Support: Never had to use. The Wow Factor: Style and sizzle is subjective, but, to me, it has tremendous appeal. When I talk to players, they all seem to know about it and I've had more than one ask to borrow it. Nah... don't think so. Overall: I've had it for several years and still love it. It's been through a lot and still looks and performs like brand new.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Great acoustic guitar pickup. Reproduces overall characteristic of the guitar better than any acoustic pickup I've used. Not quite as good as a mic, but about the best you can get for a gigging, loud rock band. Feature: The no solder end pin jack makes installation a snap. Ease of Use: Very easy to use. Some drilling required to fit in the end pin jack, but that is to be expected. Pair it with a good pre-amp and you're set. Manufacturer Support: Unknown, have not dealt with the company's service department.

Sound: This pickup sounds amazing. On top of that, I was able to install it with the existing electronics on my acoustic in about ten minutes. I wish everything was this easy. Feature: The way this pickup sounds is it's best feature. The next best part is that it is fairly easy to install. Quality: So far so good. Value: I felt that the price was very reasonable. I make a lot of gear purchases and this was one of those rare all upside no downside kind of purchases. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it.

Sound: More natural sounding than the last magnetic acoustic guitar pickup I used. Definitely a nice change from the undersaddle pickup harsh "quack". I did miss the quick response and attack of the undersaddle, though. Feature: Adjustable polepieces, very important. Ease of Use: Pretty easy to install. Loosening the clamps to install it was a bit tricky. Quality: Overall: I miss the quick attack of the undersaddle pickup. So I may go back to it and use a Fishman Aura enhancer with it.

Sound: It is probabely one of the best MAGNETIC pickups out there. Feature: Adjustable pickup censors work well. Quality: Made very well. It has a tension breaker on the pickup for the chord so in case you step on it it doesn't take a chunk out of your sound hole. Value: Like I said, one of the best magnetic pickups out there. Manufacturer Support: Lr Baggs has THE BEST support. Overall: A good overall product.
