This is what I have in my luteback; a K&K spot on the bridge and a piezo strip on the underside of the soundboard, near and parallel to the wheel. The two signals appear on two pins of a 3-pin XLR connector near the pegbox (the third is of course the ground pin) and I have a custom cable/adapter which brings the signals out on two 0.25" jack plugs. If you're happy with running the unbalanced signals for that short distance, and with needing a special adapter cable, it's a neat solution. If you wanted to use more pickups, you could use an XLR connector with more pins - Wikipedia claims 5-pin versions are in common use. Dave
