As good as advertised
I installed this pickup myself on my Gold Tone Paul Beard Signature Squareneck Resonator guitar. Followed the instructions religiously and it works perfectly. Plugged it into my Fischman Loudbox Mini and it sounds great, even better than when I mike it with my Shure SM57 microphone. At this price, the Schatten RG-03 passive resonator pickup is a real bargain.

Schatten RG-03 - low output
I initially had this passive pickup installed by a local dobro maker. He noted that there was very little output and re-installed it further down into the cone using 1/8 inch of putty rather than the recommended 3/8 inch. This produced a little better volume but created a very tinny sounding treble. On the chance that the pickup was defective, I requested another one. The supplier Blue Star Music immediately sent a new one. This one I installed myself with 3/8 inch of putty - an easy swap out. The output was still very low but the treble sounded much better. I ran it through a Baggs Para Acoustic D.I. with the gain way up and the treble down a bit. For the price, it sounds fine.If you decide to do the installation yourself be aware that the cone is made of very soft metal. Any pressure whatsoever will create a dent.

Great pickup, easy install, excellent sound!
I received my pickup very quickly in the mail. I found the instructions simple to follow with some attention paid to detail. I had it installed in about an hour and a half. I was pleasantly surprised at the full and true sound. I would buy another Schatten product in a heartbeat!

Seriously Deadened the Acoustic Sound.
In installed according to the directions. Recording through the pickup alone sounded very good, but the live acoustic sound was dead. I only plug in once in a while, so I removed it and put in a Fishman Classic.

On the plus side it works great but, when installed per instructions the sound acoustic is greatly muffled

Excellent reproduction, easy installation
I have a Wechter/Scheerhorn squareneck with the RG-03 installed. The Schatten gives me a well-controlled sound in an instrument that is typically a nightmare to amplify. Thanks, Schatten!Here's a link to their site: [...]

Weak
Feeds back easily and is not strong enough. Needs a preamp to run with magnetic pickups.
