I did this to mine.
It is a jazz archtop pickup designed to be fitted to the end of the fretboard, but what I did was turn it round, slightly open out the corner of the pickup so that the lead came out at less of an angle, mounted it to two of the small sieve holes in the coverplate with small locking bolts and nuts, and ran the wire through a small hole I drilled in the cone-well. The jack socket is fitted into one of the round holes in the f-holes, with felt washers to stop the scket coming loose.
Close up
I did this so that should I want to I can return the guitar to its former state, as such the only mod it has is one small hidden hole in the cone well, and the pickup lead passes under the slightly raised edge of the coverplate.
Nice warm sound through a valve amp.
Its a lovely resonator this one, got it from

Very accurate copy of an early 1930s 14 fret Style O, and sounds glorious. Theres not a day goes by that I dont play this guitar
