Best Answer

The strings are made of metal, so when you pluck them the vibration is picked up by things called "pick ups". Which are really just magnets that receive the vibration signals from the strings.

Hope this helped :)

Why does a guitar have a sound hole?

Well the sound hole is on acoustics, and its self explainitory, the sound of the string vibrations is amplified against the wood, so the guitar itself is a primitive amplifier of sorts haha. but the bigger the hole, the more treble you have, the smaller the hole, the more bass you have. now with acoustics, age and constant playing is important, as the guitar ages with constant playing, the guitar acutally sounds better. the sound actually makes the wood warmer in tone.

Do the frets on a guitar make the sound?

The frets don't nessicarily make the noise, but the tension on the frets as you get higher on the fretboard is what makes the noise. It's the strings that make the sound. They vibrate when you pluck them producing a sound. The sound is amplified in the body of the guitar(acoustic guitar). The frets enable you to vary the length of the strings thus making them produce a different sound.
