  Hey Loco - good to hear from you!

  The pickup works just fine. I used electric guitar strings. As to alignment - the neck is aligned to the body, the 3 strings are aligned to the neck, and the pickup is centred on the box. End result is the outside elements of the pickup aren't positioned near any strings and likely don't pickup much if anything. You should not have any problem using them on a four stringer. As always, your choice on the width of the neck to position them strings exactly where you want them relative to the little silver dots on the pickup. 

  I have seen some builds where the pickup was put a slant to have all the strings on a 4 strings positioned over the whole pickup - if you don't mind the looks.

  Hope this helps.

  Album Notes
  

  Cigar Box Guitar and classical music met again after 150 years!
  
  In the middle of XIX century there were musicians who classical pieces performed on homemade instruments such as Cigar Box Guitar. But, unfortunately, there are no records of these unique 
  performances did not survive. How do sounds classical music of the Renaissance on cigar box guitar?

  Pascal Bouquet - French lutenist, he lived in XV-th century. Pascal Bouquet composed many excellent works for lute and baroque guitar. Musical notations this musician survived to this day. "Brande des Hermites" and "Volte Praetorius" - it's two works from the collection of popular dances of France, Pascal Bouquet written specifically for learning to play the lute. 
  
  Francesco Canova da Milano (Italian Francesco Canova da Milano) - Italian Renaissance lute, one of the major European composers XVI veka.Franchesko Canova da Milano is one of the best composers of lute music, and possibly greatest lute virtuoso of all time. His work, and the amazing beauty of a consistently high level, and are often performed today. 
  
  Just the album includes two copyright works Eugene Nemov - "French dance" and "English dance". They are written in a popular style of lute music of the Renaissance .

  Yes you will have to cut f holes to get any acoustic sound. Without holes it will not produce much sound.
