Some of you could wonder: "What a strange title, why does he want to put a theremin inside his guitar?"
Don't ask, i just want to use the strange sound effects that you can get out of a theremin.. And without touching anything..
The circuit is not a problem, a pitch-only logic chips based design could be worth it, but my problems are about the antenna, and capacitances made by all the metallical parts (strings, pickups, and all the electronics inside..)
Do you think it's possible to get a directionnal EM field above the antenna on a straight collumn, but with a fewer impact on the sides.. Don't know if i'm very clear...
It's kind of a challenge, but i know that some ZVex Probe pedals (working with capacitance detection) were integrated in some guitars, close to the strings and the pickups, and it worked well..
