No more piezos!
Seymore Duncan Woody SC SA-3SC is a visually pleasing option for getting an acoustic guitar a decent sound on stage with no feedback problems.
The pickup is a bit disfunctional with it's long cable which is in the way when playing. I installed the pickup to my acoustic guitar permanently and therefore I have no "cable in the way" problem. The woody pickup fits with natural finished acoustic guitar just perfect!
The sound feels more like a electric guitar through a DI-box because it's a magnetic pickup, not a microphone. The sound is brialliant and it has a decent amount of low end. The problem is overwhelming middle section. It has very much middle tones with a wide Q and it's a bit of a problem sometimes.
Becuse it's a magnetic pickup it has no feedback problems with wedge monitors and it can be played through a regular Marshall with no problems and sounding pretty good.
In the end, this product is a good competetive option for piezos with its good on stage features but in sound it definetely loses to traditional piezos.

Okay for the (very) occasional gigging musician
If you're playing acoustic guitar and you need to plug in two or three times a year without messing with your guitar then this will work if you use some proper equalization on it, particularly if you are a fingerstyle player. For anyone into gigging regularly at semi-pro or pro level look somewhere else as this pickup won't be able to deliver professional quality plugged in sound plus if you play standing up you could trip on the wire hanging from the soundhole and you could cause some serious damage to your guitar. A plus for someone who won't need to plug in regularly is that it comes in a neat cloth bag that you can put in your gigbag and have it anywhere with you.

I guess it's okay
It's okay if you're on a budget but save some money for a better pickup.
