I do find the piezo transducers to be the simplest and cheapest, and the worst pickup systems for steel-string acoustics.....
Typically, UST and SBT piezo elements do offer a very high output signals from 50mV up to 1V, these signals are full of a lot of dirty sounds, and the sound of steel strings are transformed into a very unpleasant voice... :-(
Perhaps, there are forum members who did experiment with piezo placing onto such an interesting locations, either heard from others of such experiments....
I suppose that the output volume and tone might be a bit different in such application.
I have the idea of placing 9mm piezo-discs (similar to K&K pickup) onto the fretboard's end near the sound-hole......
Thanks for sharing!
