I tried a magnetic sound hole pickup but the sound hole is too small hence the humbucker idea. To fit the humbucker I screwed blocks of wood to each end of it and then I glued these inside the guitar. The glue will break of easily enough if I want to remove it-tried a test piece this morning.
I then made a little wooden box and put a volume pot and a Jack in it and wired the whole thing outside the guitar. I stuck the humbucker wire down to the scratch plate with some tape to stop it hitting the high e and i stuck the wooden box with the controls to the guitar with some tape too.

So. .. plugged it in-bit of hum (forgot to wire the ground to the bridge) turned up and great! Bit of a feedback beast with the gain up but had loads of fun playing slide on it.
Success!
Ps-thought about going without a volume pot at all as suggested but decided it'd be good to have some control of volume/tone/feedback!
Also the more astute readers will notice I'm missing a string. It broke when I loosened the strings and I wasn't going to replace it until I knew it works! (Just in case you wondered if there was some magical tuning I am using! )
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
