bro, you try posting this in the Maestro section of soft,

they are the dealer for Graphtech piezo systems

KC should be able to help you.

cost-wise, roughly $300-400 depending on whether you want active or passive.

I had my piezo done with g77. They're using shadow piezo system. Even though its passive its still loud. About $250+ without installation.

Besides passive and active there are several wiring options.

option 1

leave the body as it is. Requires a stereo y cable to be plugged in to your guitar to choose between accoustic and electric.

option 2
convert one of the pots to a switch to choose betwween electric and accoustic and accoustic electric blend. The 2 top pots becomes your electic master volume and tone, while the last pot becomes your master volume pot. No drilling required.

Do note: The wire required for the piezo was squeezed through the bridge pup. in case this is not achievable, a small hole will have to be drilled to rout the wire to your pots/switching system

Heres mine after doing the piezo with option2
