Anyone aware of a pickup being offered that is not as tall as the typical pup?! Something like the Lace for Dobro would be ideal but for 10-strings. Thanks for any coaching.

Check in with Christine & Jerry Sentell in Sacramento. Their NC-18 model might work for you. If not, Jerry can and will build most anything you want.

Steeltronics made me a really nice low profile version of their single coil. I like it a lot. He used, I believe, 5/8" magnets instead of 3/4".

I use this one on an 8-string Fender 400, but it should be wide enough for 10 strings, too!
