Krivo Humbucking Pickup for Resophonic Guitars.

Sold out

Only 6mm thick, the Krivo Humbucking Pickup for Resophonic Guitar is optimized tonally and aesthetically to suit all resonator instruments including squarenecks, single cones, tricones, and dobros. My proprietary ​Optimized Microphonics winding technique faithfully captures the sound of your particular instrument. The Krivo Resophonic pickup comes in an attractive nickel finish to match the classic appearance of metal-bodied resonator instruments. However, this pickup is also fantastic on wood-bodied instruments and a variety of wood finishes may be special ordered to suit your particular guitar. No preamp is necessary, just plug in to any guitar or acoustic amp, or via a direct-box straight into a P.A. system. The pickup mounts and removes effortlessly with included finish-safe putty.

The Krivo Pickup for Upright Bass

Rapidly becoming the world-standard magnetic pickup for upright bass. The Krivo is fully adjustable for perfect string balance and mounts easily with included fastener. The incorporation of my proprietary Optimized Microphonics™ technique results in a surprisingly "acoustic" sound. The Krivo will fit virtually any upright bass (just please remember: you must use steel-core strings for any magnetic pickup to work properly). The Krivo also excels on electric upright basses (EUBs).

The Djangobucker: The Ultimate Humbucking Pickup for Oval-hole Gypsy Jazz Guitars

The Krivo Djangobucker was the first humbucking pickup specifically created for oval-hole Gypsy Jazz guitars and is still the ultimate solution for petit-bouche style instruments. The Djangobucker is endorsed by Robin Nolan, Lisa Liu, Paul Mehling, Dani Rabin—and many many more professional guitarists. Simply the best magnetic pickup for oval-hole gypsy-jazz guitars or your money back! Designed for a snappy acoustic Gypsy-Jazz tone and is fully adjustable for perfect string-to-string balance. 


The Djangobucker perfectly recesses into the idiosyncratic fretboard cutaway of petít-bouche guitars for a "seamless" look. At only 6mm thick, the Djangobucker will fit virtually ANY oval-hole guitar. Do you play a D-Hole (Grande Boúche) Gypsy guitar?—then I highly recommend my Micro Manoúche (humbucker) pickup which is the best Krivo pickup for D-hole or F-hole gypsy guitars.

Micro-Stealth PAF-Style Pickup for Archtop Jazz Guitar

The most innovative pickup for Jazz-guitar in decades, the Micro-Stealth is an ultra-slim (6mm) thick, Jazz PAF humbucker which is slim enough to fit  vintage style archtop guitars which have very little space between the soundboard and the strings (e.g., vintage guitars such as Gibson L5, L7, Kay, Harmony, Silvertone, and “modern” archtops such as the Loar LH-600, or Eastman El Rey). However, the Micro-Stealth is a favorite of custom builders and is now featured on select archtops by Emerald and Fibonacci.


The Micro-Stealth PAF is Engineered for a warm, clean and flattering "Jazz" sound. Uses custom manufactured low-intensity neodymium magnets and real hardwood spacers to achieve a vintage tone with a modern "bite," strong attack, and three-dimensional sounding overtones.

Krivo Mini-Humbucker Pickup for Guitar.

Sold out

Available exclusively on select guitars by fine builders such as Emerald and Fibonacci Guitars, my mini-humbucker is very clean and flattering pickup with lots of output. This exciting little marvel is based on my critically-acclaimed Nuévo single-coil pickup but with an added noise-cancelling intelligent coil™ and a ferrous backplate to warm up the tone. This pickup provides a warm yet clear sound with a very sweet midrange. Great for archtop jazz guitars, slide guitar—and more! A mere 1/4" thick: the Mini-Humbucker installs and removes in seconds and requires no modification to your guitar. (the "mini" has a 52mm spacing E to e. and is 6.5mm thick).

Want to add the sound of the mini to your guitar? Try my micro-manouche pickup which is the exact same pickup as the mini-humbucker re-engineered for optimal string balance without the need for separate adjustment screws.
