This pickup was made in 1994.

Lane Poor started a company making high end bass pickups and he also manufactured these acoustic soundhole pickups.

Sometime in 2000 he went AWOL and the company closed.

Recently the company was revived however they make bass pickups only.

The pickup is in very good condition and comes with a 12 foot cable that ends in a 1/4 plug.

The pickup is quiet and natural sounding and is easy to install.
One of my pics shows it installed in my Martin D18.

$175 shipped-Paypal OK

Glad to see that Lane Poor is getting back to making pickups. His factory was in a mill in Fall River, Ma a few blocks away from my business. I dropped in on him one day and he gave me a tour and showed me how the pickups were made. Cool guy and quality pickups.

It appears the new company is running without him.

Did a search on Lane Poor. It seems he contracted Lyme disease and had a rough time. Recently wrote a book on the disease and has been doing a promotional tour.

An apprentice of lane has resurrected the company and the PO Box is Fall River, MA. Would love to stop by and say hello and offer best wishes in the new endeavor.
