Does anyone know of a pickup that uses a similar design to this?

I’m sorry but that is a completely different design and a terrible pickup for playing out :-)

I had the Zero Impact in my LL16 and I replaced it but I would say, with its solid transducer design, it would be most similar to the Fishman Matrix or AG series. If you want passive, I would go AG

However, the Zero Impact is designed to have 6 individual elements which I don't think the Fishman has. I didn't care for the Zero Impact so I replaced it with a Baggs LB6, which has less quack and 6 individual sensors. Either pickup will get you in the ballpark and be more serviceable than a K&K.

Does the LB6 require the saddle slot to be widened?

Yeah, it's a little bit thicker than a standard saddle. Most experienced techs don't have much problem installing it.

[AeroUSA]

Yeah but I don’t want to modify the saddle slot for it

If you're looking for a six crystal passive UST, there are still a few of these around to be found.
