I've cut the brass looking part with no problems, never cut into the ceramic part. I don't know if it would hurt to cut the ceramic, just never needed to make it that small.

The rod type ones are fairly cheap if you are happy to buy from China/Hong Kong and wait a couple of weeks for delivery.

This is a big company that sells good stuff at a small price $2.83  http://www.suntekstore.com/-bendable-piezo-cable-pickup-for-acousti... or a more flexible/thinner one $3.99 http://www.suntekstore.com/bendable-piezo-cable-undersaddle-pickup-... 

or if you plan to use a lot $15.66 for ten http://cgi.ebay.com/10-NEW-Acoustic-Guitar-Saddle-Piezo-Bridge-Pick...

I have cut them 1/4" wide and they still work. I cut right through the ceramic and left the wires on one end.

I have cut into the ceramic and they still work, sometimes the ceramic can chip off while cutting though and if the side you want chips off it wont work.

Thanks for all the help, I went ahead and cut one :) and it still seems to work just fine. This is good to know cause now I plan to imbed it into the bridge to isolate it from the box top. I'll let ya know how it goes.
