The
Nuevo single-coil pickup is the Krivo pickup which is closest in sound to the traditional
Stimer pickup popularized
by Django Reinhardt during his late electric period. However, I have
optimized magnet position and strength to eliminate the dreaded “hot-b
string” problems evinced by the original
Stimer-type
pickups.
On the classic Nuevo, an inlaid pearl dot allows for perfect placement
to achieve proper alignment and string-to-string balance. Furthermore,
the Nuevo is
extra thin (approximately 6mm thick!) and thus easily fits modern guitars with low action for which a
Stimer-type pickup is untenable.
