This is great stuff, in the video he mentions a solid magnet pickup, and it looks different as well, how is this different form a regular PU, and where would one of these sold.
It's not gonna be much different, a coil an a magnet... Don't need six poles obviously..
If u want to mix it with a pup on the strings I recommend a bucker inside and a single on the strings for best balance

Thanks for the link Hip Bone - I recalled a thread from a while back where others had the idea to use a magnetic pickup on a metal plate http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/spring-plate-reverb-reso... and there is a good sounding reso can built by Jeff Weins who used a magnetic pickup under the can (last page of the thread) and towards the end of the page linked here is a video of it in action http://home.comcast.net/~204mike/diddleybow.html. It was the first time I'd seen this done. The Rezobro has taken it one step further - I look forward to seeing your design (will it be called a Bonezobro?)
That's me. I picked up the idea from a picture Jef Long posted of a tin guitar with a strat pup under the lid. He reported it worked very well and, while it has some of the same feedback issues of a piezo, the sound was much better and impedance match to the amp was as desired. Just don't stand in front of the amp facing it with the volume up to 11, I guess.
My adaptation of that idea was to get a reverby sound from inside the guitar. I have to finish up my Darth Vader guitar before I try the plate reverb. The Vader git will have a spring inside a tin with a pup on the spring.

That's really cool.
An interesting idea - the inventor gives out more detail of how it is made here
