None that I have found thus far. I have routed a shallow slot, under the centerline of the saddle, to accept the piezo transducer ribbon, on a couple occasions.

Hey Tim, I haven't yet had to install a under saddle pickup yet on the wider saddles either, But now that has changed and Im about to do one and see that you have cut a slot in the centre line of the saddle slot, How deep did you go, half the depth of the piezo transducer or just shy of the full depth? I have thought about this for a while and not liking the idea of the wider saddle and not having the full contact it should have. It's a bit of a step backwards in my mind, but really no other way to do it.
