Tried using one of those Chinese undersadde piezo pickups. The metal box that fits in the bridge slot is a bit large. In messing with it. the wire seperated from the metal peice. Don't want to cut bridge slot any deeper. Will the bare wire work? should I coat it with anything?

If you mean the flexible braided wire has come away from the rigid rod then no because the rigid rod is the piezo part. The flexible braided wire is just the connecting wire from piezo to the output jack. If you mean the black plastic has come away from the rod leaving the bare silver rod it will still work provided the silver braided wire is still connected. If the rod is damaged flexible under saddle ones fit into a narrower slot.

Thank you. I was confused, because if I tap on the wire, I hear sound out of my amp, but nothing from tapping on th saddle.
