You'll also find that you can get away with using a high quality 10 foot guitar cable to feed a signal to something that will impedance match the transducer without the need for active electronics or preamp within the instrument. It just greatly uncomplicates the whole thing and does away with creating that nasty RC high pass filter with the cable capacitance and high resistance value of the actual disc.

Jessie at JJB has come up with a way to produce and sell
high quality piezo transducers with a jack extremely like a Fishman switchcraft for $50 USD.
Equivalent K&K is a little over $140. That's a $90 savings. I've used a K&K on my first electrified instrument. It works and sounds great. I've used JJB in about 20 other instruments over the past 10 years. They also sound and work great. That's $1800 saved.
