My delightful (and very wealthy) nephew gave me a cracking cigar box a couple years ago. Has a piezo pickup which sounds a bit grim. Looking for suggestions for a cheap low profile humbucker that I can get installed on the top and without too much depth inside the body of the guitar
Thanks in advance 😎

Lace Alumitone Matchbook Pickup, Chickenbone John uses them on some of his CBGs and there is a demo of one on YouTube. He has other humbucker pick-ups. In US CB Gitty sell pick-ups and hardware. No affiliation to either. Here's Lace product info lacemusic.com/products/lace-alumitone-matchbook-pickup |

If you check out Astons music ....https://www.astonsmusic.co.uk.....they sell low profile pickups in a similar style to the sixtus but only for 3 or 4 strings.....Craig who owns the business is a pleasure to deal with.

Though not a humbucker, I have used one half of a Fender(Style) bass pick up. They have 4 pole pieces, so for a 3 string , the strings go between the poles, and for a 4 string over the poles. Reasonable quality Far Eastern pickups are widely available.
