Overall Rating

Comments: I have had a few e-mails about my earlier review because Headway are not easy to find. As far as I know they do not have a website. They advertise in the UK guitar magazines, so you can get up to date contact info from there. Easier to buy direct, try Coda Music www.coda-music.com or Ivor Mairants www.ivormairants.co.uk. I wouldn't buy direct, they don't take credit cards. In fact, with the benefit of a year or two use, don't buy it at all, get a Fishman system which is quieter, and better still get an Award-Session acoustic pre-amp unit/direct box.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 5
