James Olson has been installing internal mics for at least 15 years (originally Crown or Sony).
While I think it's interesting and useful, it's not new, or particularly unusual.

Oops, sorry I missed this before, LJ.
Yes, I do think that Baggs is innovative to come up with a type of internal mic which is more resistant to feedback,
and to preamp the signal with onboard electronics which remove that boxy inside-the-guitar sound. (That boxy sound, and the feedback susceptability, have been my greatest dislikes, with regard to internal mics.)
For the record, AKG makes a stick-on mic (c411) which appears to be similar in application to the Tru-Mic. One of my multi-instrument friends swears by it.
