I just bought this for my Martin DM. It does nothing but buzz on every string. I restrung and tuned my guitar...same thing. You get what you pay for or don't pay for in this case. Bummer!

I got the Seymour Duncan Woody XL for my birthday to put into my Mitchell MD100S12 12-string guitar. I regularly play it through my Peavey Vypyr 75 it plays amazingly. It is easily put into the sound-hole of the guitar and can be adjusted to provide more or less emphasis on different strings. I have found, however that the strings' sounds are equally represented through the pickup. I highly recommend measuring your sound-hole before purchasing, as the pickup measures about 4 and 3/16" across.

The only thing I would change on this pickup is to put a volume control somewhere on the pickup for quick and easy adjustments. Otherwise, the pickup is a must have if you have an acoustic you always wanted to plug in or if your acoustic electric's pickup system simply doesn't satisfy you.

I bought one of these used and, at first use, thought maybe I should return it. I was plugging it into a Fender Mini Tone-Master. I wanted something that sounded good in headphones so I could really hear how I was playing while practicing. Turns out the Mini Tone-Master was holding back the quality of this pickup. I scraped the fender mini for a Crate BX-15 Practice Bass Amp and it made a HUGE difference.

The pickup really preserves the acoustic sound...(I was afraid it would have an electric sound like it did on the Fender mini). The highs are crisp and bright but not tinny and it picks up the lows nicely. I did have to adjust the pole pieces a little on the one i purchased, but after playing around for a while i found the right spots for each. I LOVE THIS PICKUP and recommend it to anyone with an acoustic who is looking for clean and true amplification of their guitar.

I normally don't write product reviews but this was too good to pass up. I just got my Woody XL in today and was blown away by how clean the sound was. I am so glad I bought this before buying and acoustic/electric. Great product!

Seymour Duncan Pickups are the best and most versatile pickup on the market. I have tried them all (Maybe I missed 1 or 2!). I use them on my Electrics & Acoustics, Worth every Penny!!!!!
