You can't use a microphone like a regular electric guitar pickup (those work using a magnetic field to pick up the string vibrations), but you can reconfigure a microphone to fit into an acoustic guitar. This wouldn't be a pickup proper, it would be a guitar mic.

Get a peizo electric buzzer from a dollar store (itt'l be inside anything that has an alarm or buzzer)
Tape it to the guitar pick (the peizo elementr is paper thin), and solder the 2 leads to a headphone jack.
Plug headphone jack into an amp, and walah!
google "peizo pickup" for more ideas.
