I purchased this item this month and tried it on once, but removed it after less than 30 minutes. There are initial scratches as it is an imported item. This is a custom-made item, so the box has a name written on it, and therefore the box is not included. This is a pickup used by the high-end Italian guitar brand, Overload. It was also featured on Makoto Fukami's headless 7-string guitar.
