Those pickups go for $480 lower end professional - $1400 bucks for higher end retail in Australia, more for custom I'd imagine. Anyone had any experience with them?

The one in the video is about 890 euros for a bit of piezo cable, a preamp and eq and the hype of a lot of famous names.

Just to clarify, I have absolutely no commercial interest in this whatsoever and am in no way associated with Carlos Juan or Bellinati in any business venture related to pickups. I am just putting out info and letting folks decide for themselves. I did hear the pickup live during the filming of this video and it is truly amazing how real it is to the original sound of the instrument.

I wasn't implying anything untoward by my comment Robbie merely letting people how much they sold for retail in Aus. First Time I've heard of these so It was just out of curiousity really...

No problem Stu. I just wanted to let folks know my involvement or better yet non involvement.
