Actually there are devices that do this. I have a Roland GI 10 guitar/midi interface which is basically a real time pitch to midi converter. It handles pitch bend too and does an impressive job without too much delay and glitches. Paired with a midi sound module, you can (in theory) play any instrument using the guitar as the input device. Whether this is effective or not depends on the nature of the target instrument; wind instruments work pretty well but piano say is harder to mimic in terms of playing style.
