<p>I recently Tackled this endeavor. I used a 12mm piezo and put it as far back toward the end of the stick as I could and ran a cable through it. Couldnt find the right hardware either, so I just made my own from scrap wood lying around. <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3645259207?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3645259207?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center"/></a></p>

<p>I've built a lot of Canjos with pickups, comes down to the type of the pickup and how many. If its just a single disc Piezo, either right under the bridge on a big body or centre of the body if its small, usually on the lid works best. got more than one disc piezo, one either side of the bridge, just not to close together. If you got a single coil or a Humbucker, I just put it in the neck position or as far away from the bridge as possible, but that's my preference for tone. Hope this…</p>

<p>Don't know about hardware stores, but you'll most likely find jacks at an electronics store like Radio Shack or someplace. </p>
<p>Why don't you check at cbgitty.com for one. They have kits already soldered with the jacks and/or pots. Makes it easy to hook up.</p>

<p>Yea, but if he was already considering a piezo, then feedback from a single coil is the least of his problems. :-)</p>

<p>Some people take a standard single coil and turn it sideways so the string runs over top of all 6 magnet poles.</p>
