I have used a Charlie Labs' Digitar for several years.  I believe the
company is no longer in existence, but you can see a picture of the unit
here:

Basically, it's a set of six thin metal bars that trigger the MIDI signals
against a chord.  It is an amazing piece of gear, and I recently bought two
more second-hand because I am afraid of it breaking.  I play the guitar
passably well, but this allows me to do guitar strumming and picking with
any MIDI-controllable voice.

I have investigated MIDI pickups for my guitar but haven't found what I like
yet.
