Yet a third note to Buri regarding why a guitar player (or pianist) might be attracted to the violin:

Mainly the sound and ability to shape notes more expressively. The violin has a superior tone and is the closest thing to the human voice. The way you can shape notes with vibrato is competely different than guitar and I find it alot more expressive when executed with the right hands. Obviously the guitar and piano are superior with respect to harmonic possibilities but it is the tone and ability to shape notes that attracts me to the violin.

Now I'm off to practice!
