My only issue is the lower two pickups.

The actv2 is great, if they had an active four, I would probably be happier. This goes for the railboard and 10 Grand wood Sticks.

Since the pasv4 went by way of the dinosaur, I miss the lower pickups.

The stick-up is great. They have lower poles closer to the bridge .

I need the lower two pick ups, I need a replacement for the pasv4.

I have a guy who makes custom pickups, he has a little CNC Router, so I'm hoping to maybe build a replacement for the pasv4.

You're probably aware, but people have put other pickups in a Stick. An example was mentioned during Bob's Saturday Zoom call a few weeks ago. I don't recall the guy's name but there was a web page showing the modified block.

Hi Dave
I am not aware. I would love to see the modified block. The issue is the string spacing it would have to be custom made. Quite a bit of engineering involved.
10 string standard, 10-string Grand, sb8, rail board, all have different string spacings. And different size blocks.
You can't go out and buy a standard guitar pickup and slap it on , as far as I know.

Hungarian Stick player Gábor Fejes-Tóth uses a modified (or custom made?) StickUp:

And Hawaii based Joe Conti uses a custom StickUp on his oak 12-string (5+7):

The one I was thinking of wasn't either of those.

Found it...

Rick Cucuzza's 12 string Grand has Stickups plus an extra 'Seymour Duncan Hotrail' on the melody side, in a custom housing ( (& MIDI too).

Spacing on an electric guitar, e.g. a Strat might be around 10-11mm near the bridge? On a 12 string Grand Stick it's 7.62mm.

If the difference was the otherway round that would be a show stopper, but presumably you could get narrow spacing by angling the pickup?

I've not done the maths to see what angle would be needed & how practical that might be...

Not far off 45 degrees to get a 50mm pole to pole pickup (you might find a 48mm?) down to an effective 35mm.

Oh, I didn't know him.
And because of the custom housing I was thinking it was not an original Stick.
