Soundhole Pickup

Hey I currently don’t own any Acoustic electrics and I don’t want to have a pickup installed so what do u guys think of Soundhole Pickups (I would mainly use it on my Taylor 210)? Are they decent or are they just a gimmick? I don’t really want to spend more than $50 I was thinking about going with this one but I’m a little skeptical. Thanks for the input!

It works pretty well and im very happy with it. But Its one of those deals where you get what you pay for, so choose wisely

i think most soundhole pickups sound really tinny and shallow, but ive only played i think 3, so by no means am i an expert.

I have a Fishman neo-d. Certainly not the greatest, but it gets the job done. If you are only looking to spend 50 bucks, I don't think you are gonna find much worth your while. Will you be gigging with this?

I was looking at the seymour duncan too, but does that chord stay on the outside or do you run it through the body like a normal pickup?

I use a Fishman Acoustic Matrix and love it.

I'm thinking about getting this one. Did the installation chage the sound of the guitar much? I heard that it might.
