Yes, if you can imagine it, it can be done. However, there are some limits to this. If you are attempting to install a dual humbucker into an acoustic guitar, you will find it is very difficult (and pointless) to accomplish. But solid-body Guitars for the most part could have any kind of pickup you want. Just make sure the string spacing is correct. Also, if you plan to put in a different size than the one you already have, you will need to rout/cut the wood for it to fit.
what you are asking is who invented the electric guitar. not the guitar pickup. without the pickup its just a piece of wood.
yes, you can either put any kind of pickup in the guitar
With a guitar pickup one can turn an acoustic guitar into an electric guitar. They use string vibrations generated from playing and turn it into electric current.
The first guitar pickup is generally credited to George Beauchamp, who, in the early 1930s, developed a magnetic pickup for the electric guitar. This innovation was part of the design of the Frying Pan guitar, produced by Rickenbacker in 1931. The magnetic pickup worked by converting the vibrations of the guitar strings into an electrical signal, paving the way for the electric guitar's popularity. This invention marked a significant shift in music technology, enabling new sounds and playing styles.
No, it doesn't quite work like that. You can get a pickup for acoustics but not like a humbucker out of say, a Gibson Les Paul.
Buy a vibråto bôx @ any guitar store and attach it to the back of your guitar.

The bridge pickup on a guitar is located near the bridge, which is the part of the guitar where the strings are anchored.

This guitar was made in the early sixties, very well built, though the pickup did actually tend to go out on this model
The bridge pickup on a guitar produces a brighter and sharper sound, while the neck pickup produces a warmer and rounder sound. The bridge pickup is typically used for lead guitar playing, while the neck pickup is often used for rhythm guitar playing.
The best pickup height for a Stratocaster guitar is typically around 1.6mm for the bass side and 1.2mm for the treble side. Adjusting the pickup height can affect the tone and output of the guitar.
The neck pickup on a guitar produces a warmer and fuller sound, while the bridge pickup produces a brighter and sharper sound. The placement of the pickups on the guitar affects the tone they produce.
To wire a humbucker pickup in a guitar, you connect the pickup's wires to the volume and tone controls and the output jack using a soldering iron and solder. Make sure to follow a wiring diagram specific to your guitar model and pickup configuration for proper installation.
You may have to route a new hole in your guitar to fit the pickup you want inserted, or have it done for you professionally (Advisable!!). Put the pickup in place and wire it to the volume pot, which should connect to the tone pot and then to the output jack of the guitar. Alternatively, if there is space, usually if you have a higher action on your guitar, you could simply screw the pickup to the body/pick guard and the wire it up (or the other way round).
To make your acoustic guitar sound electric, you can use an acoustic guitar pickup or a soundhole pickup. These devices can be easily attached to your guitar and will allow you to plug your acoustic guitar into an amplifier, giving it an electric sound.
