NOW IN STOCK and Ready to Ship: The Micro-Manouche is new standard in magnetic pickups for Gypsy Jazz guitars. Robin Nolan has called it "simply the best" Available in Black/Gold or Chrome.


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 dead "g". The Micro-Manouche solves all of these issues with panache and strikes the perfect balance with Argentine type strings (among others!) 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 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, Marc Athlan, Ghali Hadefi, Benji Nini Winterstein, and Will Dickerson. The Micro-Manouche is exceptionally well-balanced and works with all metal strings: phosphor-bronze, nickel, Monel™ and Argentine (silvered copper) strings. It's truly a UNIVERSAL 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.

Simple and effective: The Micro-Manóuche has been 10 years in the making: my design intention was to combine the best features of my most successful pickups for jazz guitar (Mini Humbucker, Nuevo and PAF) into a simple and cost-effective pickup housed in a beautiful laser-engraved cover. After much experimentation I am proud to say that the new Micro-Manouche is the the most affordable, well-balanced and versatile Krivo Humbucker available: Clarity and warmth with a bit of a gritty edge to the tone. 
The Micro-Manouche has exceptionally great string-to-string balance: this pickup has completely solved the perennial balance issues which have plagued other magnetic pickups for gypsy-jazz guitars.

Will Dickerson
"I am blown away by the quality of the craftsmanship and the crisp tone of the Micro-Manouche. It has a bright, clean, almost acoustic-sounding tone that is perfect both for playing with a quiet trio and with a full band." 
—Will Dickerson: professional guitarist.
