I put together a guitar from parts. I had been thinking about this for some time and planned on a hybrid pickup, with traditional magnetic and a piezo hardtail bridge.

Control Cavity

GraphTech Ghost Acousti-phonic Preamp

Note: I set this up with one stereo output jack. Switched jack will disconnect battery when no plug installed. Mini-switch to go between Magnetic/Both/Piezo. Stereo wye to two mono will allow me to send piezo and magnetic to different amps. Or with a mono cord, I can use my Line 6 FIrehawk and switch to an acoustic amp modeler.

Preamp is installed in upper right of the control cavity.
