Krivo Humbucking Pickup for Resonator Guitar — The World's Most Popular Resophonic Pickup | Handmade in USA | FREE U.S. Shipping
The Krivo Resophonic Pickup is the world's most popular humbucking magnetic pickup for resonator guitar — and the standard by which others are measured.
Here's something most players don't know: if you've ever played a National Slimline, or a Republic Resophonic pickup, you've already heard a Krivo. I personally build all of those too, in the same small Port Townsend, Washington shop — a three-person family operation.
Critically acclaimed. Trusted by working players. Engineered to disappear into your instrument.
At just 6mm thick, the Krivo installs and removes in seconds — no modification, no preamp, no fuss. Plug straight into any guitar or acoustic amp, or run a DI box into the P.A.
Optimized tonally and aesthetically for both metal- and wood-bodied resonators — squarenecks, single cones, tricones, and dobros. My proprietary Optimized Microphonics™ winding technique faithfully captures the unique voice of your particular guitar instead of imposing a generic "pickup" sound on top of it.
String Compatibility:
Excels with all acoustic strings — phosphor bronze (what most Krivo players use), Monel, 80/20 bronze, and coated strings like Elixir. No special string requirements.
Installation in seconds:
- Pickup mounts with included finish-safe putty — no drilling, no permanent modification
- 1/4" female jack clips to your endpin strap button (rubber strap-lock washer now included)
- Plug in a standard guitar cable and play
- Removes just as easily — take it off, leave no trace
Important orientation note: the cable must exit on the treble (high E) side of the guitar for perfect string-to-string balance. This is by design — flipping it kills the balance.
