Duncan Performer Maverick Soundhole Pickup

I bought my Maverick pickup for an old Ovation Matrix Acoustic (non electric) that I've had a long time and attached it to the soundhole and plugged into a Fender Champ amp. It puts out just a lovely sound. I haven't had any feedback problems at all and I'm very pleased with this unit. I know I'll be using it for recording. It sounds like a million bucks. You can't beat it with a stick for it's price.

Sounds great, easy to install.using it in a yamaha 325 and running that through a Marshall MG50. Great bottom end and for the price, it can't be beat.

Not bad, the padding came off of it after a month or two. Still works but I have to put something between the clamp and the guitar so it doesn't scratch the wood.

This is very easy to install and you could easily install it moments before performing if needed. Now that I've decided to keep it I will rewire it to the guitar's end-pin jack. My only issue with this model was the signal level to the PA when I play at a local open mic. I purchased the Behringer PB100 Volume Booster pedal... problem solved nicely. Some folks may prefer a fully active sound hole pickup instead but they cost decidedly more for the better ones. Going this route I can say that this pickup works well for me and if I don't like the pedal it's easy to rethink that purchase at some point without change the pickup I have now.3-18-2013 - Update, I've actually done the rewiring I spoke about earlier so I don't have the cord hanging out of the guitar when it's not in use. Here is the amazing part, I don't need the pre-amp now, it gets plenty of signal to the PA. Apparently the signal loss was due to the 10' thin-ish cable.If you've never rewired these things, just take your time and be patient with stripping the outer and inner insulation. Be sure to 'tin' the wires before soldering them to the end-pin jack. Also, before you start the final soldering, try to put a 1-2 inch piece of heat shrink tubing on the cable so when you're all done you can shrink the tubing over it all to add 'strain relief'.

Got this pickup as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. Install was quick and easy. We plugged it into a brand new mini-amp (that we know for a fact works) but it produced no sound. We tried wiggling the cord, thinking there was a short, but nothing. I tapped on it, shook it, but nothing. Had to exchange it. Waiting on the new one to arrive, and I will amend my review.

This pickup worked for about a minuite, then nothing. I tried it on multiple amplifiers but eventually had to return it.

I bought this not knowing how well it would work. To my surprise, it works exceptionally well. I plug into my sound system and the sound is awesome.

i love this pickup, it fit perfectly into my Hohner and it sounds amazing. Sound was big and clear and not over trebled like most acoustic electrics. i suggest this for anyone looking for something like this!
