It's truly a UNIVERSAL pickup. ​Introducing my new Micro-Manouche humbucking pickup for Guitar. This little marvel is turning out to be a favorite among archtop jazz players, Gypsy Jazz enthusiasts, and even on niche instruments like the, cigar-box guitar, the Indian veena and balalaika! Endorsed by professional players like Robin Nolan, Benji Nini Winterstein, Ghali Hadefi, Will Dickerson, and many more! Now also available in Chrome Finish!​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 warmer with hotter output than my Nuevo and Djangobucker pickups but is more "acoustic" sounding than my Micro-Stealth PAF.​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.​The Micro-Manouche is the best Krivo Pickup for D-hole and F-hole Gypsy Jazz Guitars, but excels on every type of guitar (very nice on Parlor-sized instruments). If you play Oval-hole (petít-boúche) gypsy guitar then I highly recommend my Djangobucker pickup. "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.           You can hear the new Micro-Manoúche pickup in this fantastic and thorough demo video by Will Dickerson
