yves guen ST48 width

Anyone here can measure/tell me the thickness of this pickup (under the string)?

Michael's shop page for the item is not showing the dimensions

I had one of these but it's been sold. I seem to remember that the actual pickup is arounf 7mm thick and, if I recall correctly, I read somewhere that the distance between the top of the soundnoard and the strings needs to be 11mm.

I sold it because I couldn't get the mounting system to work, I found it very fiddly to fit to the guitar.

Yeah the mounting system looks ridiculous compared to the simple and functional clip on a peche

Yeah, I've got a Kleio 47 and it has a clip which works fine. The Guen mounting system was not secure and the pickup kept slipping.

You can place the clip on variants only near the neck though, if you want more attack the Guen method allows you to mount it over the soundhole or closer to the bridge side.
