I installed this in Gibson Heritage Custom acoustic guitar, according to instructions. I play this guitar through a mixer and PA system. I chose to purchase this pickup because Barcus Berry says that there is a strong signal and a battery (preamp) isn't needed. In my opinion, I did not find this to be the case. The signal is too weak for my taste and it sounds thin. i am now looking for a preamp to use with it. I am going to choose a Fishman Infinity Matrix and try to use only the preamp portion of the Infinity. I want to be clear and say that this review is not about the ebay person or store that I purchased this from. It was as advertised, was at a fair price and arrived quickly. It was a fine transaction. I just picked the wrong product.

I've always felt that the Barcus Berry was the best kept secret of the acoustic pickup market. I started using their products in the 1970s when they were one of the few who could reproduce accurate acoustic sound. This pickup installed easily in my small Martin and provides warm, acoustic tone with or without a pick. When used with an acoustic amp the sound is exactly what I was seeking.

Best for any acoustic instrument , as amature of playing the is natural warm clear balance , Just miss in the booklet how to soldering the wire Diagram, it will be good an illustration how, and were soldering the wires to the pin end Jack.

But it really does need a preamp. It doesn't have enough gain with one.
