Maybe I just had a dud, but to even hear it I had to run it into my effects board turn the volume all the way up and then into a 25W amp with the volume and gain all the way up. Then I could hear the guitar and a lot of noise.

The cork "padded" brackets for attaching to a sound hole are junk. The bracket actually left a mark on the finish of my guitar. It also lacked any form of instructions, but it is simple to attach it.

Simple, 2 "padded" brackets, tighten, but do not over tighten the screws.

You could see where the wire was soddered to the male 1/4 jack on the one I owned. The plastic wrap on the wire did not extend all the way down the wire. I had to put the jack back together because the cover was not screwed on. I could have fixed the poor wiring job, but since the sound was so poor I returned it and bought a Fishman Neo D Humbucker instead and am completely satified.

For $10 more buy a Fishman. I can not speak for other brands but I have Fishman pickups in my 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars. Like I said I owned this product and returned it the next day. It was a waste of my time and gas.

N/A, I didn't even bother with it.

It looked ok in the box and was cheaper than the other pickups. There is nothing "SEXY" about it otherwise.
