I was very interested reading all the comments on this topic as I am in the middle of a build which is a resonator, with piezo, and a mini humbucker at the neck.
I will run the piezo through a Takemine pre-amp I got from ebay and I am running the two pups into telecaster control plate for pup switching etc..
I am glad that other people have tried this and it works 'cos I had no idea when I planned all this if it would work (wing and a prayer I think you call it!). Can't wait to get it finished, and try it, and just hope my son likes it and he will think it good enough to play on his gigs.
I will let you know how it turns out but don't hold your breath!!!
what kind of piezo are you using? If you're using discs, I'd suggest that you wire 2 in series... you can get a little "tone" seperation that way.... one thru a tone pot doesn't do much... just a thought.
the best,
Sam

Just to second what Sam said... I used 2 wired in series too. I was told it would help reduce feedback a little.
Looking forward to seeing your project hogs :o)

Hi,
It will sound great - I ran the output of 2 mini humbuckers plus piezo discs via a 5way switch through a takamine preamp and it works fine.
I found the preamp tends to gobble up batteries though - still a small price to pay for all the different tones you can get.
I also added a small onboard amp and a couple of mylar speakers
Not sure if I'll bother again in future - if the preamp is used on a high setting the onboard speakers give feedback with the neck and piezo pickups (fine with the bridge mini humbucker though) All okay on lower settings but volume is (as you would expect from small speakers) a bit low. All sounds A1 through an external amp.
I look forward to hearing how the resonator works out as my current project is a resonator. :)
