hi , you  can find coil mags in many things .. old electric razors  like  these  for example

 

 

here  is a video of  my guit with one in it

you  can add a  magnet to  it to boost its strength   if needed .  etc .

 

also  , you can use  any small   speaker as a pick up  . just   put the  speaker   face down  anywhere  on the guitar   and attach  it to a jack or a cord .it  will act like a mic  and a  pickup . more like a piezo  . you may  want to add a pieces of  tissue  inbetween the wood and the  speaker .

 

old tattoo guns  have  mag coils ,  some buzzers .  fire alarm  bells , school bells ,  musical   greeting cards  have a piezo  you can use  , microwave oven buzzers are a great piezo ,  earphone speakers act as a piezo  ,,  old  microphones  . etc etc etc ..   hope some of these ideas  help  ;-)

good luck.
