Or this, with the polymer coating (I have no idea what this does, apart from maybe protection?):

to the fancier, shielded version:

These should all be usable as contact microphones (in a pair, located on the rosewood block, each sensing two strings) right?

Otherwise, I could go with a piezo cable, and fit it under the saddle, like the Baggs Element:

I've experimented a little with the film type piezo elements, they really need to be under some pressure to have good sound and output, like under the foot of a floating bridge for example. Simply stuck to a surface they have very low output.
