How many of you have added a pickup and maybe a preamp? What brand? Did you like it or kill your guitar?

Added lots of them. Standard Ovation products, after-market units, and even homemade gizmos. If you're cuttin' a hole for the preamp, that is sometimes a bit tricky.
Usually pleased with the outcome, too!
Whatcha got in mind there?

And, as to the "creative juices", here's one. Check out the piezo pickup in a resonator. Now, that's probably "gilding the lily", a bit:

Sorry, not the best picture. I'll do some cropping, and try again!
