Thanks for checking out this video. I made this one for someone going on a long hike. So we opted not to have any pickup. But a magnetic pickup would work well for this type of guitar. I use a larger piece of fretwire for the zero fret nut, so I give the strings a little more clearence while still keeping the action low.
