Pickup for Altamira M30

MichaelHorowitz

@DjangoDad generally no, unless you have higher action and/or your neck has more angle than most. Generally the neck angle is too shallow on all Asian made Gypsy guitars resulting in low clearance. You can mount a Stimer but it will usually start to fret out when you play above the 12th fret.

The only magnetic pickup that consistently works on Asian made Gypsy guitars is the Krivo as it’s super thin:

Darn, Michael, your advice aligns with the generally negative sentiment, and I'll certainly defer to you even though the measurements that I've received would seem to indicate otherwise. Oh well - many thanks you and to all for your input.
