just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
If there was something with a reasonably full sound, thats one guitar cable into the sampler. done
If mag pickup really wont fit then buy an Audio Technica AT831, it's a mini mic, has a dedicated soundhole clip and sounds great. The AT pro70 is a budget version.

Also consider a used Sony ecm-55 or 88 omni lapel mic. Blu-Tac it to the end of the fingerboard, plug in (if you have XLR) and go.
If memory serves it’s cardioid as well which makes it better for manipulating extraneous room sound.
It’s best driven by a passive undersaddle piezo, ironically - but that does also mean it’s very non-invasive.

Mike Vanden was very helpful with the fitting in a non-standard instrument.
In my opinion they don't actually sound less like an acoustic guitar than a traditional undersaddle piezo does, just different and actually more natural, without that distinctive tizzy piezo attack which is difficult to un-hear once you've become familiar with it.
I still think a modelling system like the Aura is the current best option other than an external mic though.

the laws of physics and bronze/PB don’t react to mag pickups - full stop. I’ve heard the pickups that are “designed for bronze strings” and - they’re not.
For the record, I have the Vanden (as mentioned), the original Aura, Takamine, a Baggs m1a, a Fishman Neo-D, various K&Ks, Ultra-Tonic, Tonedexter, AG Stomp and Mooer Radar and the kit I mentioned earlier so I’m not talking from a theoretical position.
I’m quite old and very curious.
