It has ONE Volume Control. It's ideal for live performance, with a durable black casing.

- Made in the USA.
I friend gave this pickup to be around 2008 because some of my acoustic guitars didn't have electronics on them NO guitar(s) included..
- I'm not sure when he got it. I know that he used it - but he was they type of guy who really took care of his gear. So he either carefully used it or lightly used it. Specific detaila about it's condition are below.
- I carefully used it every so often when I first got it. But for many yearsI I was not usin git and have had it safely stored in a box in a closet. From a pet-free / smoke fee home environment.
CONDITION:
TOP SIDE is generally clean. The top smooth outer (border) areas have a couple of light line surface scuffs (some may call them scratches),, a cople of very tiny nicks, and a few not to light / not too deep regular scratches. It also some small roundish - cloudy surface spots/ scuffs from when the strings rubbed against the top side. The top middel area that has texture has a couple of very light surface scuffs - from when the strings rubbed against the top side (nothign too serious)
TOP SIDE OUTER EDGES: There are a couple tiny nicks here & there and some very light couple surface scuffs.
LAWRENCE logo - is fine.
LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, & BACK Sides - They have some tiny & a few very short dash scratches (nothing too serious).
BOTTOM SIDE of pickup is fine.
EDGES of BOTTOM SIDE & areas near Edged of Bottom Side - There are a couple tiny nicks here there.
The KNOB for the Volume control is fine.
The VOLUME CONTROL works properly.
The BRACKET PART is fine / very clean.
Going by the specs - the cable (or cable + plug) was 12 feet. Now it's 11 feet and 3 inches. So most likely it was shorted a little by my friend. But I'm really not sure. The plug has a small screw - so if ncessary you can shorten the length of the cable or (when / if necessary) repair the plug to cable connection. Right now the plug to cable connection is fine.
The plug has somevery light hair-line surface scratches,some very light surface cloudiness, a couple of very tiny nicks. The head of the screw on the plug has discoloration.
The cable is fine - is have curves from how it was folded.
I took pictures several pictures of this pickup and the cable & 1/4" jack that's attached to it.
NOTE: There may be some not too serious imperfections that I overlooked. There are some no ttoo serious imperfections that can be seen in person that do not appear in the pictures. Some of the imperfections and / or the condition of thsi pickup might look different in person than they / it appear(s) in the pictures). Also - there are some glares that show up in the pictures that are not that visible in person.
