Fun and functional - not perfect
Probably the best (only?) non-intrusive, self contained MIDI pickup. You mount it and set it up first time, and after that it is plug and play. Tracking is good, but not perfect, as is a limitation of the format I think.
Playing drums while playing guitar is very fun. In practice, I mostly have mine set up as a low end reinforcement for the lower strings. That is triggering a monophonic (lowest note only) bass sound an octave down.
Keep in mind you have to play very cleanly for it to track as best as it can. That means exceedingly cleanly, almost machine like and boring: No pick rakes, microslides or other things we guitarists do because that sounds good for normal guitar playing.
You should also know that the pickup seems to work best on guitars with rounder radius. With a very flat radius, like on a Strandberg, the middle strings are much closer to the pickup than the outer strings. This results in unbalanced tracking, even with sensitivity adjustments.
Long (3m) USB-C cable (with A-to-C adapter) is of decent quality, but I think a slightly longer (5m maybe?) would be even better.
