The problem I have is that it fell on the floor one night and someone unceremoniously stepped on the clip, breaking the clip part. So now I use a rubber band and a special piece of plastic I carved to hold the thing together. It works, though. Threre doesn't seem to be a way to reorder it from Audio-Technica.

Firstly our D hole guitars have huge sound holes and I don't think the pickups would fit the holes without specially-made extension brackets. Secondly the sound of a magnetic pickup takes it towards an electric guitar sound when we are aiming for a pure acoustic sound - still I'm sure they are useful for some situations.
