What pickup would fit an Alta M30. I have been told that the M30 design requires a very thin pickup.

    Krivo would be a good bet if you're going for a magnetic, they're very thin profile. For reference, I have a peche that I love but it frets out the high E on my M10.

    There's a Krivo Nuevo pickup for sale in the classified section of this forum. Less than half the price of a new Krivo.

    I've owned 2 M-10's and an M-30 & used krivos on all of them with very satisfying results. I favor the micro manouche these days. If you use the tiniest dot of putty on each side of the pickup, it'll stay put & not interfere with the strings.

    I also use the krivo and the k&k XT and it's pretty awesome on my M01

    I slapped a good ol’ Peche A La Mouche on mine. I don’t believe the talk about pickups needing to be thin in Altamiras is all that accurate. I ran into that discussion when I was searching for this pickup and there was only one voice that said it would be fine. They were right and now I will pass this on to you!
