Dean Markley SC-1 Pro Mag

Pickup features: Single coil
Impedence or other specs:

Model of guitar or bass: Takamine accoustic
Position: middle
Pickup being replaced: n/a
Other pickups on guitar:
Artists using this pickup:
You musical style(s): Southern Gospel
Reason for pickup change:

Perceived output level: The output was not the best. You can't have the monitors above a certain level or you get serious feedback. The pick up is too strong.
Tone: The tone has a tendency to be a little muddy at times.
Sonic evaluation: If I had to do all over again, I would go the more expensive model just for sound quality purposes. However, it is very handy,it easily slides in and out of my guitar. For the price, I'd say I got what I paid for.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Most suitable for finger picking, least suitable for strumming.

You musical style(s): blues, rock
Reason for pickup change: none

Perceived output level: normal
Tone: can't tell
Sonic evaluation: Just your normal acoustic guitar pickup. I can tell why it is supposedly one
of the most popular acoustic guitar PU's out there. It's extremely easy to
pop in; and it is not too expensive. But my friend has the humbucking version
of this (I think it is the ZH-7, it's black), and the sound quality outperforms
mine. The Pro-Mag is not as clear and it is much softer. I also hear much
more background fuzz. If you are a sound freak, I'd recommend the ZH-7's. I
think they are a considerable amount costlier than these though. You should
get these if you need an acoustic guitar pickup, you don't have loads of money
to spend on it, and you aren't too picky with sound quality.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: all styles that require an acoustic guitar...

Comments: I don't need another acoustic guitar pickup. This one is fine. I really don't
use my acoustic guitar that often. I like the ease of use. The cable, however,
is extremely long and thin; and it gets in your way. If you don't wind it up
carefully, you'll find yourself spending lots of time just untangling it. But,
on the other hand, it's good that it's 15'. Sometimes you need it all. Read
above for my comparison with the step-up model (I'm pretty sure it's the ZH-7).
Basically, it's all that you could ask for in an acoustic guitar pickup,
excluding the average sound quality. It suits me just great. Maybe if I had
bought it for $30 like the other person did I would have been happier.

Pickup features: Single Coil
Impedence or other specs: 15' double sheilded cord, solderless plug

Model of guitar or bass: Warshburn

Other pickups on guitar:
Artists using this pickup:
You musical style(s): all except country
Reason for pickup change: Price, it was on sale and came with 2 packs of Blue Steel Strings.

Perceived output level: Since it's a single coil, the true acoustic sound has an electric quality. The treble strings really stand out, the bass strings warm and true but the "G" string is weak.
Tone: trebly
Sonic evaluation: The high tones are just so strong that the bass sounds really, weak, but then again I dont play it through a true acoustic amp.
If your looking for an acoustic pickup thats easy to put on and take off, and have the amp for it
this one should be high on your list
