There's an obscure country singer from Texas named Willie Nelson who uses one. If you listen to his recordings, you can hear what a nylon string Martin classical guitar played with a pick through a ceramic bridge pickup sounds like.

Many people don't realize that it's almost always Nelson himself playing the acoustic guitar leads on his songs.

Nelson, of course, has an idiosyncratic approach and his sound is not necessarily what most other folks attempting that could achieve. But he's one outstanding example of what can be possible with that combination.
