Excellent sound once I got it working.

I bought this pickup to replace and Artec woody style humbucker for my Alvarez. The Artec is a really poorly designed piece of kit. The cable failed after little more than a year, and it's difficult to tighten the holdning screws, although the sound was OK,

The Harley Benton sounded great once I got it working. There is a small slither of plastic covering the batteries which I didn't realise was there. At home, I've had the pickup on full volume, with the mic on about half way. I busk in a subway, and the wall opposite me is only about 3 metres away, so I will judge the amount of microphone I can useafter playing there tomorrow. I also bought a gig bag, and a tuner. Both are great, the gig bag does not really have any padding, but it oozes quality, great zips, tough material.

Problem is, the subway that I busk in has strip lighting, and this pickup displays all the problems associated with 60cycle hum, which is like a constant ringing in your ear from your amp.

Do not expect to much

At the time of a purchase, it cost 50 euros (give or take a few), and I needed something for my acoustic guitar to make louder I guess.
After I have done some research I decided on this product mostly because of the price and features that have. I am happy with the result and sound that I received, altho the mic that is integrated causes a lot of noise, the pickup still provides you with good sound.
But in the end if you need your tone to be steady and quality I recommend you to buy an electric acoustic guitar with fine integrated pickup.

Unexpected quality!!!

After reading many comments and watching some YouTubers, I decided to buy this pickup for a single concert only, not giving much attention to it. However, I was impressed when the mixer channel was unmuted during the gig and the sound of the guitar was almost the same as playing acoustic, meaning no plastic sound or pure pickup sound. With the mixer of Mic and Pick with individual volume, you can have fun with it.
I strongly recommend it from beginners to professionals.

First of all i wouldn't use this or any of this type of device for recording. But for easy live setup, it works pretty good.
