I just stumbled upon a totally cool project. The Linux Guitar, an electric guitar with embedded linux. It will be able to record, playback, and of course have on board effects. Totally awesome! I was already thinking of making my own guitar with a celtic look to it, adding this aspect to it, is a great idea.
I've been researching the appropriate hardware to use. I found this it's called a System On Module, and it uses the Freescale MX31 processor which uses the ARM1136J-fS core, which includes a DSP. This will be perfect for the effects side of things.
What's awesome as well it's only 2.33" by 3" in size, that's very small footprint, and it should fit in a guitar body no problem at all.
