I use this Seymour Duncan product on my 12 string guitar. It picks up each string surprisingly well. The sound hole pickup makes my guitar sound extremely natural through my acoustic amp... as in... there's not an electric sounding twang on each note... which you generally have with any regular acoustic electric guitar. For the price this is definitely worth getting.

This review is from: Seymour Duncan SA3SC Woody SC Acoustic Guitar Pickup

I've owned a Seymour Duncan Woody for several months now, and have had a chance to try it out with various amps, with the pickup tipped for a stronger low end or high end, and so on. This is an excellent value and is basically as feedback free as you're likely to get from an acoustic guitar pickup. The one thing I've found is that I get a significantly more natural acoustic guitar sound playing the Woody through my Ampeg bass amp than through my Peavey guitar amp. The high ends are too grating through an electric guitar amp and there's a tendency for distortion to creep in, even with the clean setting. Through the bass amp, though, the tone is absolutely clean and clear. The pickup is easy enough to install and remove and it's easy to get it to sit low enough that it doesn't interfere with finger picking any more than any other sound hole pickup would. The other great feature of this pickup is the look; the natural wood finish actually enhances the look of the guitar. If you are looking for an acoustic guitar pickup, this is the one to buy!

GREAT pickup for the money. Outperforms my Martin thinline that cost triple what this little wonderment did. BUY IT!!!

5 stars for value,4 stars for performance.

Could be a little stronger on the low strings, but still GREAT.
