Comments: This Kent pickup is unreal.I bought a cheap Telleno archtop guitar off E-bay and it had a Kent WC-16 pickup on it.Even with dead strings and high action the thing had smoking sound.I was getting ready to rip it off and put it on my flatop when I saw this Kent WC-40 soundhole pickup on E-bay.I figured it might have the relative sound,so I won it.I can't believe this thing,even with bronze strings the thing seems matched to the sound I was looking for.It has volume and tone controls that are attached to the pickup,and they work smoothly.I was scared to reveal the Kent secret,afraid the price may go up.But I don't care,someone needs to know about these pickups, they are every bit as responsive as Dearmond.I'll buy every one I find.
