MOTM

Nope. You still would have to have a pitch to voltage converter for each
string, assuming you need to generate 1V/Oct cvs to make a VCO track
correctly. If you are not worried about using VCOs, you could just use the
envelope follower / preamp solution to mangle your guitar sound with
filtering, envelopes, and other signal processing.

Matter of fact, if you used an ebow you could make the string act pretty
much like an oscillator. So there's a lot you can do with a preamp and
envelope follower, you just can't make a VCO track.
