I bot a couple of these to check them out ... used one to build my homage to the Lowebow... you can see and hear it in my "end of days" video http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/end-of-days
Here's what I think.... they're just OK.... not something that you want in a lifetime keeper, but if you want a lot of function for a little money, plus not having to do soldering, then go for it... the ones I got had plenty of wire to place output jacks and tone/volume pots whereever you want....
the best,
Sam
Wow thanks for the fast reply, nice bluesy video as well mate :)
I have to wait for my paypal account to come through, but I think I'm going to go for it. I was planning to get some regular pickups from an old guitar, but I don't have the tools to solder it all together, and I have no idea how to either :P Also, with normal pickups I'd have to get the jack input, pots etc. too...

Daan,
Glad to help.... the best idea in building and playing CBGs is do want you can do right now. You can add skills and tools and parts as you go along in your building careert, but if you wait until you have all that you think you need, you might never start. Better your first one is just "OK" than to wait for perfection and never do anything.
dude you can get a cheap soldering iron for less than 10 bucks another 4 or 5 for a roll of solder. a few minutes playing with it to learn how to use it and bam no more problems use any pickup you want. and if your worried about work space i do most of my soldering on my kitchen table. you dont need a work shop ventelation or any of that bs.
