There are devices which are called laser doppler vibrometers, which might also be able to do this by pointing at the strings/base of the guitar?
There do seem to be videos of laser doppler vibrometers being used with guitars on youtube, but I'm not sure if the soundtrack that goes along with them is just from a normal mic.
I had a little play with laser speckle patterns to detect keypresses, as they can help find very subtle changes to a surface -

- ssfrr 4y agoLDVs are the gold standard for noncontact vibration measurement and are widely used in acoustics. The main problem is that they’re pretty expensive (I think on the order of a few 10s of k$)
- zbrozek 4y agoI came here to post about LDVs but was beaten to it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Doppler_vibrometer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Doppler_vibrometer They're sensitive to very small vibrations. A friend of mine used them while working at a hard drive manufacturer to better understand head and platter vibrations.
