I searched "Ghost Pickup" and found a few entries from people who tried the Wicked Bucker under the box top. Apparently it was not particularly successful.

MGB has one for ghosting too, all of their flatpup’s have been consistently good for me?

You can also ghost a hot magnetic pickup, or one that’s not so hot? Fender makes an esquire Tele with a pickup ghosted beneath the pick guard in the neck position, but maybe not as dense as wood?
I always get tempted with their free shipping :D
I ordered the Lucky13 flat pickup and installed it under the box lid. It had great power at picking up the string even through the box lid. The one thing I did notice was that the pickup was very phonic, much like a piezo installation. In noticed that if it touched the neck, the pickup picked it up. If I touched the box, same thing. The solution for me was to wrap the pickup with a single wrap of 1/4" bubble wrap to isolate it from the box, neck and other guitar parts. That did it.
For ghosting, it is a good choice when isolated from the guitar.
Thanks for the tip.
That’s kool Tom, I ordered a few yesterday, I ended up selling the cbg I had it in? I also want to try their single coil ghost pickup, but that’s another adventure :)
Late to the party, I'd get a Gitty bomb, if they were available, but how many ohms would it take to achieve these results? I won't do business with MGB.
Rule of thumb, 1/4 or less ( Strings to pick up )for pick up for best sound. MGB is top notch and free shipping, There flat pick up's work great under lid... (thin lid box's )
I still won't do business with MGB. They screwed me and were patronizing about it.
