T'would sound cool, but something that achieves a similar effect (without 
one button per string - just use your fingers to mute unwanted strings) 
would be the Sustainiac Model B:

Yes, they say it's out of production but they also say they're working on 
a 
replacement model.

Aside from that, get a vibrator (yeah, THAT kind of vibrator) and use it 
like an Ebow.  Try whacking the strings with brushes, pencils, etc. or 
bowing them with a slide (Adrian Belew), metal rod (Daevid Allen of Gong), 
or something else.  Mess around with the guitar, see what you come up 
with.  
I saw one guy even get sounds by holding up an HP calculator to the 
pickups.
