    I am looking looking to find a thin passive pickup. To fix to the guitar top--no higher than the height of the guitar fingerboard. No string height height adjusting grub screws. Anybody know of a make? If you live in the UK and have one for sale PM me with measurements.

    Many thanks.

    The DeArmond Rhythm Chief reissue is really good. Not a humbucker but that classic sound. They did this one right and it's very reasonable.

    Also comes in silver. They were designed for guitars when they tended to be built with fingerboards closer to the top. They can also be mounted with a spacer beneath to get the right height.

    Krivo are probably the thinnest out there. Pete Biltoft at Vintage Vibe might be able to make something for you too. He made an extra slim 'CC' floater for one of my guitars that had minimal clearance at the fingerboard.

    Consider Häussel Flat Jazz. Fabulous pickup from Germany.
