Can a guitar produce it's own sound?

Answer 1

(first off my apologies to this being so long, just trying to be explanatory)

All Guitars create sound the same way: through vibrations created by the tension of the string(s) you plucked combined with the amount of force you used to pluck the string(s). But there are a few differences depending on which guitar your curious about, for example an acoustic guitar, when you pluck the string, the string-depending on the tension of it, and the amount of force used, will create a vibration, and the sound waves generated by vibrations travels into that hole cut into the body of the guitar and it pretty much amplifies the vibration so your able to hear it.

Now electric guitars, I'm not positive about this one, but enough to put it in this answer. I assume that when you pluck the strings on an Electric Guitar the vibrations, instead travel through wires located in the guitar and out the outlet in the guitar that enables you to plug the amp. into the guitar and if connected through the wire that connects the guitar to the amp. and into the speakers in the amp. which then projects the noise the guitar makes.

Answer 2

All guitars produce sound waves and vibration whether acoustic or electric. Electric guitars rely on electrical amplification of the sound while acoustic guitars have inbuild amplification
