Krivo Micro-Manoúche humbucking pickup for Selmer-Maccaferri Gypsy Jazz Guitars: Stimer alternative.

The Gypsy Jazz Pickup Robin Nolan Calls "Simply the Best" — Now Also Endorsed by Lu Golovina (see video below!)

The Krivo Micro-Manouche is the new standard in humbucking magnetic pickups for acoustic Gypsy Jazz guitar — just 6mm thin (under ¼"), it disappears into your setup while delivering everything your tone deserves.

Endorsed by Robin Nolan, Lu Golovina, Jesse Blue Eads (banjo), Oriol Riart (producer/composer for Latin Grammy-winning Libres and Flamencas by Las Migas), Nitcho Reinhardt, Nini Winterstein, George Cole (David Grisman Quintet), and used by dozens of top Gypsy Jazz players worldwide.

Why players love it:
Works flawlessly with traditional Argentine/Gypsy-type strings. Installs and removes in seconds with included finish-friendly putty — zero modification to your instrument. Fits oval-hole (petit bouche), D-hole (grande bouche), f-hole, archtop, and resophonic guitars. Whatever you play the Micro-Manouche preserves the natural acoustic character of your instrument while adding clarity, warmth, and just the right gritty edge.

The balance problem — solved:
String-to-string balance has plagued magnetic pickups for Gypsy Jazz guitars for decades. The Micro-Manouche solves it completely — guaranteed to deliver more even balance than adjustable pickups, or your money back.

10 years in the making:
This design combines the best features of my most successful jazz guitar pickups into a single, cost-effective humbucker with a beautiful laser-etched brass-plated wood cover. The result is the most well-balanced, versatile Krivo pickup I've ever built.
