I had looked into that pickup a while back because it is supposed to sound just like am acoustic guitar, when it is installed on an electric guitar of your choice.

We've spent a few weeks working on getting it installed and working, and today it was all worth it! My dad's SRV strat now outputs electric as well as (really good!) acoustic sounds! It can even be plugged to a stereo cable that sends the two signals separately to two amps.

While we were in the guitar we chose to thoroughly shield the electronics cavity to protect the guitar from hum (normally caused by being near flourescent lights).

Here are a few shots during and after the setup:
