Pros & Cons
Pros
Preamp works great but my saddle still needs a little adjustment. Preamp has a 3 band eq, presence and a volume knob.
The 4mohm input impedance helps reduce the spikey sound you often get from piezo usts. Sound quality is much better than expected. And it sounds pretty dang good as well.
Easy enough to install with a little patience. Plywood sides, but a solid top. Cannot beat it for the price.
This unit performs perfectly! Couldn't be happier. Met my expectations.
Cons
It may be warped. Inexpensive, but cheaply made.
Highlights
Quality
The quality of the parts is actually very good the unit works reliably
The sound quality is actually quite good and seems to match the natural tone of my guitar
Dont expect fishman or boss quality but the down and out if you are public park player
Since there is no onoff switch on the unit the volumn control does not act as an onoff switch
Price
This a great price please note when installing it in the proper place
The guitar i put it in only cost me 50 bucks so i wasnt really worried about ruining it
Shipping
Also the shipping speed was very fast

First polarity on the wires is wrong of course this does not matter if you are using it as is black was positive and red was negative

Build quality overall isnt great but it does hold up alright my main concern is the volume knob as it is only soldered on one side and moves around some next the battery holder is a little hard to get undone not impossible but i wouldnt want a screwdriver slip near a guitar as it is intended to be used

I wanted to repair it but didnt want to invest too much money into it

So i hesitantly bought this pickup with the idea of cutting my guitar myself and putting it in
