These are sold as a direct replacement for the standard wide Ovation pickup. Are they supposed to be better or are they just a knockoff? I thought Ovation had a patent on this design.

laocmo - I thought Ovation had a patent on this design. 

Patent holders can (and do) license the rights to use their designs. I don't know if that's the case here or not.

These are sold as a direct replacement for the standard wide Ovation pickup. 

I didn't notice in that ad any "direct" replacement statement. ?  I only saw "Intonated Replacement Saddle". 

I did notice that the link for the Installation Manual displays a page Not Found message.  hmmmm


 Are they supposed to be better or are they just a knockoff? 

Never used one so can't say whether these are equal, better or worse. Shadow is a reputable maker of acoustic/electric pickups. 

According to that ebay sellers Returns paragraph they don't accept items that have been opened or installed... so I guess if you wanna try it, you're gonna own it.
