I’ve spent a lot of money on acoustic pickups, each one claiming to be the best. LR Baggs (internal microphone), Fishman (professionally installed bridge piezo), Lace (magnetic), AKG (external mic), and other boutique solutions promising exceptional sound. Every one has been a disappointment. So when I saw this thing, I thought, “what the hell, it’s only $10, might as well see how it compares.â€So how does it compare?This thing has absolutely no business sounding this good. It’s shocking, and a bit frustrating, but there it is. In my opinion it sounds as good or better than pickups costing 30 times more. So, if you are like me and you’ve been disappointed by other solutions, you might want to give it a try.

Plug and play, comes with sticky tape for the pickup and sticky Velcro for the port. Sounds alright but no volume control. Great value.

I have a small travel Johnson guitar. Placing this pickup on the front got a weak tinny sound through the amp. But I noticed when I touched it, the sound signal was louder, fuller, much more bass, pretty decent. Maybe a grounding thing, I assume? Anyway it occurred to me to put it on the back, since the guitar rests against my chest / stomach, and in that way it gets the benefit of the grounding's sound boost (even through my shirt). Noise from contact with the pickup is minimal when seated, not moving around. This way is much better than trying to somehow continuously touch it with my picking/strumming hand while playing. (Given the low price, and my intentions with the device, this work-around works for me. I am not sure there are any as reasonable options for this guitar given its construction). For me now, if I travel and want to go to an open mic and can't borrow a guitar, this will work and sound decent, as long as keep it pressed up against me, which I do anyway when playing.

Just sticking on the body of your acoustic guitar only gives you about half of its potential volume. The pickup needs to be firmly pressed to the body. I was able to rig it up so it works good. I think I'll get a different one for the guitar and put this one on my mandolin. It's worth the 10 bucks.

This pickup was exactly what I wanted for my mandolin. We have been recording tracks and I needed to give the instrument some "punch". It was too quiet in comparison with the other instruments. This was the ticket. It is, what it is, though. Do not expect more than it can do. If you are looking for a reasonable condenser mic, which can be simply attached and will not damage your instrument. Then this is what you are after. It is simply a microphone, round in shape, which you attach to the body of the guitar, or whatever, and it picks up and amplifies that sound. All sound. Voices, whatever. As long as you are aware of its limitations and uses you're good to go.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter to use with her acoustic guitar. It works great and allows her to plug her acoustic up to her amp for some electro acoustic fun!

Absolutely fantastic for 10 bucks. However very sensitive and picks up all kinds of sounds even the tv. I would be hesitant to use live. But good for recording

Funciona muy bien con bluetooth, el velcro si es de muy mala calidad, pero yo use double sided tape, y quedo muy bien.
