you could just make a pin bridge they work great on box design a piezo saddle and bridge pins if the top thickness is  thin just make it thicker on bottom of lid and install harder wood for string ends ive seen and heard many a good choice i feel its way better than neck thru on that strings push on lid a pin bridge will pull different sounds tottally good deal  good luck

I've used bridge pins and tailpieces to anchor the strings and they both work well.

With the pins add a thin hardwood bridge plate inside the lid if you're worried about strength.

With a tailpiece your bridge can be kept really simple
