Dean Markley is good for strings, but not magnetic sound hole pickups. Imo, I think they are horrible.

If you want a soundhole pickup, get either the Neo-D or the Rare Earth by Fishman.

get an LR Baggs pickup, fishman can be overated, trust me, go with LR Baggs

they can be very good depending on how much money you spend, like my sunrise pickup is great, but pricey.

If you do go with a soundhole pickup, go for the humbucker version, it really cuts down on the hum.

they are, and I prefer them because I know I can rely on their stuff, but Baggs is also does good. You should just go to the store with your guitar, and trya few soundholes out. They should just easily screw on and play for a little bit. That's what I did with my Neo-D (but I am upgrading soon because I got the Aura now, and the Neo-D doesn't really let it shine).

If you aren't able to try them (if the store guys are assholes, lol) do either Fishman Neo-d, Rare Earth, or LR Baggs.
