The Dean Markley Pro Mag Grand is a humbucking acoustic guitar soundhole pickup that has been re-voiced for better string balance, and enhanced low-end, midrange, and highs with sparkling harmonics. Finer winding wire has been used to provide improved magnetics, plus an efficient, low-noise, slim line cable and a solderless, quick-mount jack.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

A Grand Pickup Indeed
I admit...I had real reservations about a humbucking, in-the-soundhole pickup being able to reproduce acoustic sounds. But the Dean Markley ProMag Grand does exactly that.
It accurately reproduces your acoustic guitar's own sound, without coloring or changing it. The lows are low, the highs are shimmering and even under flourescent lighting...no buzz!! With it's black and gold lacquer finish, it even looks great.
The ProMag Grand has made me a believer. I give it four stars, only because I prefer a full size plug and some stress relief on the cord.
Otherwise...its a five!

Good Item, With Drawbacks
Pros: The sound is very good to excellent, I noticed no holes in the range of the fretboard. I like the subdued dark color of it (the pickup not the sound), and the installation is easy enough. I noticed no problem with volume, it has as good an output as any of my passive electric guitar pickups. It is not a valid comparison to compare this to a powered acoustic pickup system. I did not have to change gain or volume levels past halfway for a good room-filling sound. The room I play in is a standard to small size parlor, and my amp of choice for this arena is a Bugera Vintage 5.
The price I got for this pickup was very good, less than thirty dollars, and that was the deciding factor on this purchase versus a different brand. I notice the price fluctuates wildly on Amazon, so watch for a good deal.
Cons: As mentioned by another reviewer, there is a small area of resonance in the body of this thing, whereby if you tap it with your pick while strumming or picking,...
Like it!
This is a probably the best inexpensive pickup you can buy! The sound is not only good, but there is no hum like I have experienced from other brands I have tried. You can't go wrong with this one. The only con, is the cord. It is too stiff! It could be made a little softer and more flexible. Having said that, I would still recommend it!
