You could wind what essentially would be an electromagnet, which would be 
driven by an amplifier which was fed your input from the MOTM (or whatever 
you like).  If brought near your guitar strings it would in effect make the 
strings the moving part of a transducer (speaker).  Essentially how a pickup 
works, but in reverse.  Don't forget, speakers can be microphones too!
