Excellent sound once I got it working.
I bought this pickup to replace and Artec woody style humbucker for my Alvarez. The Artec is a really poorly designed piece of kit. The cable failed after little more than a year, and it's difficult to tighten the holdning screws, although the sound was OK,
The Harley Benton sounded great once I got it working. There is a small slither of plastic covering the batteries which I didn't realise was there. At home, I've had the pickup on full volume, with the mic on about half way. I busk in a subway, and the wall opposite me is only about 3 metres away, so I will judge the amount of microphone I can useafter playing there tomorrow. I also bought a gig bag, and a tuner. Both are great, the gig bag does not really have any padding, but it oozes quality, great zips, tough material.
Problem is, the subway that I busk in has strip lighting, and this pickup displays all the problems associated with 60cycle hum, which is like a constant ringing in your ear from your amp.

Do not expect to much
At the time of a purchase, it cost 50 euros (give or take a few), and I needed something for my acoustic guitar to make louder I guess.
After I have done some research I decided on this product mostly because of the price and features that have. I am happy with the result and sound that I received, altho the mic that is integrated causes a lot of noise, the pickup still provides you with good sound.
But in the end if you need your tone to be steady and quality I recommend you to buy an electric acoustic guitar with fine integrated pickup.
