Anybody know what pickup is on the gypsy guitar?

Brad, it's a DeArmond 1100 Rhythm Chief. The earlier AAs, like mine, came with a DeArmond 1000. The 1100 is adjustable for the loudness of each string. The vintage DeArmonds are now very hard to find and expensive.

No, I have that on my AA as well, I was wondering about the one on the flat top.

Does anybody know what year(s) the AA in this clip might be?
Vinny Raniolo plays a 1960 1971 one!

Olli Soikkeli is using a Swiss made "Pêche à la Mouche" pickup as written on it.

It's specialy designed for the strings used on Gypsy Guitars. "Inspired from the model used by the famous Django Reinhardt, this new model built for the 100th anniversary of Django's birthday features considerable technical improvements."
