Chrome is IN STOCK and READY to SHIP! The Micro-Manouche is the new standard in magnetic pickups for Gypsy Jazz guitars. Robin Nolan has called the Micro-Manouche: "simply the best there is!" It's well established that all of the classic Django style surface-mount magnetic gypsy jazz pickups (e.g., Stimer) suffer from single-coil noise and poor string-to-string balance: a brash and overly loud "b" string and a relatively dead "g" string. The Micro-Manouche solves all of these issues with panache and strikes the perfect balance with acoustic strings and the classic gypsy jazz Argentine type strings: the Micro Manouche is GUARANTEED to have optimal string balance or your money back and NO NOISE—it's a humbucker. And it mounts and removes in seconds with no modification to your prized instrument. Best of all it avoids that annoying piezo "quack".
However, don't think of this as merely a "gypsy pickup"—the highly versatile Micro-Manouche pickup has become a favorite among all players who use acoustic strings: archtop jazz players, acoustic guitarists, reso and dobro players and is even used on niche instruments like the, cigar-box guitar, the Indian veena and balalaika! Endorsed by professional players like Robin Nolan, George Cole, Marc Athlan, Ghali Hadefi, Benji Nini Winterstein, and Will Dickerson. The Micro-Manouche is exceptionally well-balanced and works with all steel-core acoustic strings: phosphor-bronze, Coated (Elixir™), Monel™ and Argentine (silvered copper) strings. It's truly a UNIVERSAL pickup. Please note: if you use regular electric strings, jazz flatwounds, or nickel please use my Micro-Stealth PAF pickup.
This is the pickup for you if you want the most natural tone and best string balance. It sounds like YOUR instrument. 30-day money back satisfaction guarantee. One year full parts and labor warranty against defects.

The Krivo Universal Acoustic Mini-Humbucker for All Guitars.
$0.00 - $229.99
Only a few left!
Available for Pre-Order (will ship in two weeks or less). Formerly available exclusively on select guitars by fine builders such as Emerald and Fibonacci Guitars, my mini-humbucker is the best-of-all-worlds. I've taken the best design elements from my Micro Manouche and Micro-Stealth pickups and created one pickup to rule them all. It combines the adjustability, warmth, and grit of the PAF with the clarity and unparalleled string-to-string balance of the Micro Manouche. It has both an adjustable coil with steel pole pieces as well as Krivo's proprietary "compensated Neodymium magnet" design to create the perfect pickup, the result is a very clean and flattering pickup with perfect balance. This pickup provides a warm yet clear sound with a very sweet midrange.
The Mini-humbucker has a more transparent "acoustic tone" and is recommended if you use acoustic strings such as phosphor bronze, 80/20, Monel, or Argentine. Go for my Micro-Stealth PAF if you use electric nickel, steel or especially flat-wound Jazz strings.
NOTE: When you select an option from the dropdown menu below the photo at the top left of your screen will change to match the pickup you are ordering, however you will need to scroll to be able to see it, please browse all available options).
