One of the most natural sounding pickups around
An indication that it's time to replace your pickup is when the guitar starts to buzz, but that buzz stops when you touch the plug barrel. After eliminating the preamp, and ensuring the string pressure is being transferred to the pickup via the bridge, you then need to choose a replacement.
If you already have a Fishman system, then the chances are that by now the older pickups are no longer listed. This was the situation I was recently faced with and after contacting Fishman directly they advised that this pickup replaces earlier versions (though it's always wise to triple-check the dimensions).
Fitting the pickup is straightforward, though you need to be extremely careful not to bend the lead where it connects onto the pickup body as this will damage it. The pickup is supplied in a protective rigid plastic case and my order was additionally very well packed by Thomann.
When used with a Fishman preamp the pickup has a fairly neutral, even response and a very natural 'acoustic' sound without the metallic upper-mid harshness that under-saddle pickups can sometimes produce. The bass is well-represented without being excessive and doesn't overpower the detail in the higher notes.
Overall I'm impressed with the sound this produces.

Sounds great
Sounds great, just like the original one. Use it with Fishman Prefix Premium Blend on a classical guitar.
The original same supplied piezo element caused a lot of hums and buzzes so I had to replaced it with this one.

Excellent Pickup
My Avalon AS-100CE came with this pickup along with the Fishman Matrix Preamp. However I didn't realise when I purchased the guitar (or soon after purchasing the guitar) that the pickup was broken and it wasn't picking up any sound from the 1st or 6th strings. The output level was also very low.
So I bought this as a replacement and had it fitted. As a result, the plugged-in sound of my Avalon is beautiful. Highly responsive and the Matrix preamp gives a lot of scope when it comes to EQ and tone.
I have rated the Sound 4 stars because since having it replaced, I have loved it.
I rated the Quality 3 stars because the original one I had in the guitar broke. I have had the replacement in the guitar for a couple of years now so I hope it stands the test of time!

Very good!
Used this is an upgrade for the stock piezo in my acoustic Ibanez. The installation was easy, just drop it in under the bridge.
The sound quality has noticeable improved after the upgrade.
