Funny how they put a standard size Mickey Mouse pickup on these tenors!

I would have assume there wasn't a large enough market to warrant the tooling of a "Tenor Only" pick-up! Besides, the pick-up doesn't know how many strings are passing over it!

Oh, 100% agree with you. The Franz style pickups show only 4 poles sticking out but I'm guessing they are also full size pickups & the covers just lack the normal holes & with the outer pole pieces screwed in (or removed).
