Yes they are I had one permanatly installed in my Big Baby(back up guitar for gigs) THis pickup is AWESOME for soundhole.

assuming you're referring to the 000XEBlack, and not the 000XCEBlack (which i don't think exists), it's not painted black. it's a graphite guitar. not wood. which can be good or bad. good if you do loads of gigs where you can't afford to worry about travelling with your guitar on planes, bright ...

Went to my Guitar Center and went straight to the Taylors. (As I usually do.) Checked them out. Loved a 514ce. Too pricey tho.
