If you search the catalogs of the major electronics distributors, high quality piezo disks are very cheap. For the short run of cable in the guitar, I doubt you could save money and screw that up. A decent soldering job and encapsulation is not hard or expensive. The output jack is a place where you could save money and get something of poor quality. I suspect after a little experimentation on which disks to buy, you too could be in the pickup biz. Here are some links to get you started!
