Someone was curious whether you can build an electric guitar where the strings are connected to the body not via the usual bridge, but free-floating using a magnet with 250 kg of pull force.

tl;dw: Yes you can, but aside from some fancy bends it doesn't sound all that different, and it's highly dangerous and a nightmare to tune.
