This was used by Dad in his cuatro when he gigged and recorded regularly. It's in great condition, and works perfectly. Judging for eBay auctions, I think that selling it for $90 plus shipping is a pretty nice deal.
Pics later...But it is similar to this one:
Here's a description I got from a website:
One of the most famous pickups for blues is the model 210 used by Lightnin' Hopkins in the 1950s and 60s as well as a host of other blues legends. The benefits of this pickup include a loud, fat feedback resistant tone that's so rich it's almost fattening. Slide guitar sounds like a dream on this pickup but of course it has drawbacks also. It's a bulky heavy pickup made mostly from metal parts. It's held in place with a metal clip on one end and two folding arm clips on the other. It slide's around in the hole during aggressive playing and often has to be repositioned before or during a show. It's almost indestructable and has more of an electric sound than acoustic.
