Just remember to use electric guitar strings. Most acoustic guitar strings have bronze-wrapped wound strings, and they won't work well with magnetic pickups from an electric guitar. The string tension will be different, so you may need to get the guitar set up.[/font]

So, if you put a pickup on and acoustic, where would it go? Would it make a good sound?

There are after-market pickups that clip into the soundhole. Reasonable tone, but major susceptibility to feedback.

A lot of resonators and older acoustic electrics had regular spun magnetic pick ups in them... look at the lennon gibson ej-130 (or whatever it is). it has a pickup placed just between the soundhole and the fretboard... i think a tele lipstick pickup with a chrome cover would look pretty darn good and sound alright too. IMO though... i wouldn't worry so much about the type of strings that you use. just use a nickle type acoustic string... the biggest problem to me would be string spacing... since generally string spacing is greater on acoustics than on electrics you would have to find a pickup that could accomodate the extra string spacing.
