A bit techy and some of you may find it a bit boring but I reckon this could be adapted for future use in guitar strings!

Yes - I have had a boring evening and have been reduced to looking at stories on BBC news.

Interesting! But guitar strings have to be made of metal, so the pickups can work... Still a super cool product though, made from oil and pee, whatever next?

Not all guitars have pickups...

Not even all electric guitars have pickups - Piezos work pretty damn well nowadays.

I'm sure you could produce it with some nickel in there or whatever
