Pick up this pick up
I bought this pick up to mic my acoustic guitar. I made numerous recordings using this pick up and really loved the sound it produced. The best part about this pick up is that it doesn't require any modification to your current guitar (drilling/holes/ect).

Amazing.
This little thing is amazing. I use it with my
Yamaha F-325. It sounds pretty good even with distortion. I really only got this to record with higher volume, but the only downside is that it doesn't pick up the taps on the body. That's mostly the stuff I play on acoustic. Overall, this is awesome.

A Really Nice Pickup for the Price
This is a really sweet pickup, which really makes things easy for someone like me who is just starting out. I appreciate how easy it is to use it with my digital tuner and how I can just plug it into any amp or pedal. Sure, it took a bit of time and practice to adjust my style of strumming and picking, but the freedom of not needing a second mic makes it all worth the effort. It'll be a while before I can get my first acoustic-electric, but until then this is a great way to plug in and play.

Great acoustic pickup
I've owned one of these Dean Markley acoustic pickups for at least 10 years and can say it's great for what it does and is simple to mount and use and has never hindered my strumming or picking.
The natural acoustic tone of a guitar is nicely amplified by the pickup, but I would definately suggest using an equalizer pedal to help squash feedback frequencies and to lower the bass response, which can be overwhelming depening on your style and gauge of strings and result in sustaining longer than needed.
This pickup has never let me down, either using it live or to record.

Dean Markley Pro Mag SC-1 Acoustic Pickup
Dean Markley is a good brand for pickups and this was the very first one I had before I bought some acoustic-electric guitars. I loved how this sounded with any guitar I used it on and would use again if I needed it.

NEW REVIEW: great sounding acoustic pickup
I have a Martin HD-28 and if you don't what that is it's a 2,500 dollar guitar. So if your not stupid you wouldn't drill into guitar like this one, But I wanted an acoustic pickup. Here is the anwser. Some poeple say that this pickup makes your guitar sound the same, no mater if you have a 200$ guitar or a 2,000$ guitar. it's all lies this thing sounds like MY GUITAR, AND IT WILL SOUND LIKE YOUR GUITAR IF YOU GET IT just louder itsn't that what we want? (GRADE A+)

Great Sound in the Right Setting
I usually love the sound, but had shows at two different venues where I was plagued by a resonant buzzing, no matter what we did to rectify it. With the right PA, it sounds like a dream.

There are better pickups
Using this pickup only got in my way. It's a big pickup and it sits right where your fingers will be if you pluck or where your pick will be if you're strumming away. And as far as the tone is concerned; it's pretty thin - I used a DOD FX10 preamp to beef up the tone, it wasn't bad after that. I would recommend trying out the fishman rare earth humbucker, it's discreet, noise cancelling, and produces a rich and accurate acoustic reproduction.
