Amazing Results from a "presto" Pickup

I have been strumming a steel string acoustic Takamine for about 15 years. I thought of getting an electric recently but I've been hesitant because I'm not sure if I'd be satisfied with whatever inexpensive electric I could afford. Most electrics I tried that I liked were around $400 or more. But then I stumbled upon this little gadget. This product is extremely impressive for what it does and how easy it is to install. For anyone who ever had a nice acoustic guitar but wanted to try an electric without spending time and money selecting a new electric guitar should try this. You simply fit the padded device into the sound hole as described in the instructions and presto, you have an electric guitar. Plug into an amp or as in my case, a digital recording studio and you have an infinite number of rich electric sounds to make. You'll be pleasantly surprised because this will make your acoustic guitar sound very natural in a clean set-up or as raunchy as you want it with a heavy distortion set-up on your amp/studio/processor. It's amazing. Placing one of these in your favourite acoustic guitar is like getting a brand new electric guitar soul in the body of what you already know and love. It's totally awesome because this pickup will let you keep your acoustic sound even amplified, or enable you to live the freedom of a full blown electric guitar in all it's glory. To top it all off, you're using the legendary "humbucker" to do this - with absolutely no invasive action to your guitar. The clarity and richness this pickup provides is as beautiful as you want it. Yet, in the same manner, it has the ability to give you the mindblowing heavy electric sound when your sounding device is set up for such. This pick-up let's you have it all - acoustic or electric. Unless you need to show off an electric axe on stage, this little device will surprise your ears. I was totally blown away with the results.
