Magnetic pu for jazzbox type sound

What is a good pickup option if i want to get more of a typical jazz guitar sound from my gipsy guitar?
Ideally i would like to have some removable pickup without modifying the guitar. I am quite new to GJ and i havent tried a stimer pickup. I'm not sure stimer will get this sound, because it is single coil (you can correct me if i'm wrong here).
So is there a humbucker optionss for gipsy guitar? I'm not after Djangos electric sound, i prefer more traditional jazz sound for magnetic pickup.

    The Peche a la Mouche is also single coil but pretty fat sounding:

    The Krivo Django Bucker will give you a humbucker sound. There are a number of videos featuring these pickups.

    Michael has a generous return policy on pickups and amps (45 day approval period), so if you get one and don't like it, you can always send it back, but of course you pay all the shipping both ways.

    Thanks, I was looking at Peche pickup. One thing i am not sure i like is that this pickup installs with the cord going up from the soundhole. It looks strange and i believe it is not too confortable. Can it be reversed upside down like a regular stimer? Can anyone who owns one comment on this? Or its not a problem at all?
