Great Place to Start

Eoin H. 25.07.2013

This pickup was a godsend for me. Purchasing my acoustic guitar initially (Walden) I purposefully chose one without an inbuilt pickup. My previous guitar had a pickup already installed, and sounded wonderful plugged in, but not so hot on its own. I thought I might reverse this effect, and am very happy with the results. However, as a young guitar player I knew not the hazards associated with micing a guitar in a live situation. I soon learned that if the issue wasn't horrible feedback, it was atrocious sound, or ignorant "sound engineers." I knew I was in need of a pickup system.

It was easy to install after I had loosened the string I rarely remove it, but when I do it is a bit tricky. After a few months pf having a wire trailing out of my guitar I just took it to my local repair shop and got him to run it through the body of my guitar. The sound is very alright. I imagine a decent preamp would liven it up a bit, but plugged straight it it lacks a certain.... ooomph. Low frequencies aren;t especially strong. I suppose you get what you pay for though and at the end of the day it's ten times better than fiddling around with microphones.

Artec speak in

Marcos leonn 26.02.2014

Jah, I bought the Artec MSP-50
Somehow could say that this product reminds me too much, the old 80s tones
I really did not expect much of a product so cheap. It is a very easy product to install the only problem for me is that there came with no instruction. the packaging came with two small pieces that to me would be something like braces or adapters and I really don't know how I set it, well I did the installation and it worked really well.

It's okay..

Anonymous 26.12.2014

I bought this pickup to replace the one in my Fender acoustic as it was awful.

It's alright and installation was easy, the only thing I would say is that the sound isn't the clearest and sometimes the jack can crackle.

Other than that, it does the job!

Very good pickup for the price

Maurice7778 24.01.2015

Although I prefer to use the Fishman Rare Earth equivalent for customers needing to make high quality recordings, the Artec is very good for general gigging purposes if you can't afford the Fishman

Cheap but with quality

The sound actually surprised me, did not expect for it to sound as good as it does. Installation can be a little tricky. Great quality for it's price.

Great for 12 string guitar

SimonDK 29.09.2020

I put this on my Epiphone 12 string guitar and it seems to catch all of the strings ok. The sound is somewhat a little thin, but I fixed that with some EQ. The quality of this pickup seems pretty good like it will work for years.

Very Handy

Anonymous 22.01.2016

This is a very handy piece of equipment to have lying around for when people come over to play. Its so simple to install and remove that it can be put onto almost any acoustic guitar. I will get another one of these and put it permanently into a cheaper acoustic guitar and have one lying around for emergencies.
