Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Seymour Duncan is known for making decent pick-ups for guitars, but this is not one of them. It may be hum-canceling, but it also extremely low, when it comes to output, and I experienced a lot of self-noise in the pick-up.
I have used it two different ways, both with the intention of recording acoustic guitar:
First I tried plugging it into a small tube-amplifier, which in turn was mic'ed up. There was no hum from the guitar, but the hiss of white noise made it completely useless. I ended up just putting the mic from the amp in front of the guitar instead.
Second, I tried plugging the Seymour Duncan straight into my pre-amp/recording setup. Again the noise was unbearable, and I ended up setting up another mic and playing in front of that.
In other words, I would not recommend this pick-up, if you intend to record acoustic guitar. It may be alright for live purposes, but be aware that its output is fairly low.
