Mono Piezo pickup... sure.

HEX piezo pickup....  woah that would be tough.

If I had to try it... I would check out some to the piezo stuff made my
Measurement Specialties (Digikey)... but not the little plastic piezo
benders.   They did not work well for my drum application, and would
be SURE to be worse for a guitar app.

The Brass benders have a very brittle piezo ceramic... I think its
possible the
heat of cutting them with a dremel tool might harm them as well.  But
hey...
for the price of those benders why not try it ???

How about taking apart old crystal phonograph cartridges ???
