Hmmm.. A guitar string has resisitance... I
wonder... What if you had a CV circuit where the positive end was connected to a
guitar string, and that guitar string was streched over a metal strip of the
same length connected to the negative end... As you pressed the guitar string to
make contact with the metal strip wouldn't the amount of resitance increase and
decrease as you moved up a down the string... Would we be able to create a
psuedo ribbon controller? Just thinking about Del Dettmars axe
again...

That's 2 to 6 ohms DC resistance. The key would be to check the impedance of
the strings at the frequency being used. I would bet that a string is
essentially a non-inductive conductor in an AC circuit.
