Pups will work through wood etc. You can hide one under your soundboard to about 2-3 cm. Of course the further away from the strings they get the quieter they become (the strings vibrate at the edges of the magnetic field).
I wouldn't think of putting the pup on the soundboard because it would affect the way the acoustic sound of the soundboard works. It's a but like putting your finger on the skin of a drum when you hit it.
If it needs to be flat then a regular one under the soundboard might work just as well. Of course because it's hidden then it probably doesn't look as cool.

Lucky me, just joined 'The Brits are Coming' to boast about my good luck. I've just bought 3 lengths of white oak, enough to make 5 necks, or only £7. Lucky or what, a good timber company.

I guess a few of you will have seen this already but just in case anyone hasn't I thought I'd post the link. An interesting take on New Order's Blue Monday (with a diddlybow in a cameo role)...

I splurged and got a dremel type tool today with an extender hand type tube thing that attaches to it that comes with so many bits that I have no idea about. I'm sure I won't use 1/4 of them but my next build requires a bit of precision and I guess this will be the tool for the job. 

Thanks for the input guys. I will let you know how it all goes in my next blog thingy.

I agree with Richey,keep the money and save up for a router or bandsaw instead,far more useful

My brother just bought one of these and looks really good.

Got my dermal type tool from B&Q McAlister about £20. Keep a look out Aldi and Lidl often do them.
