Hitting the body of the guitar sounds percussive, especially if it's  
an acoustic. You can also hit muted strings with a stick or whatever.  
Scraping strings with pick or nails sound like shakers... etc, etc.  
Just experiment and see what different pickup and tone knob  
combinations makes possible.
