  While we’re on the subject, does anybody have a favorite pickup for an F-hole style gypsy guitar. Since there is no sound hole to attach a Peche or Stimer, it would be a matter of using some sort of putty to hold a, for example, Krivo-style flat pick up to the surface.

  Additionally, there is more room underneath the strings between the top and the strings, so it could accommodate something fatter, but you would have to remove the clip and figure out a way to get it to stick to the top of the guitar.

  Anyone experience in this particular set up?

  A friend of mine, who is a great player, uses the Krivo with his F-hole Gypsy guitar. It sounds really good. I think he used the putty to attach it.

  Sometimes people remove the clips, grind the back smooth and use the putty with Stimer and similar pickups.
