Attached to the neck right under the bridge should give good volume.

the piezo should be placed under the bridge into a shallow slot cut out in the neck, the piezo should be lightly secured with tape and damped with something like velcro to allow the piezo to be held firmly whilst allowing it to vibrate.  i've found through many experiments glueing it down stops it vibrating and will reduce volume and bass, (-:

Thanks Steve, I was hoping that doing it the way I did would make it a bit less sensitive but I guess I over did it. Going back to the tried and true methods. I appreciate the help.
