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.

Does a guitar have to have a hole in the center?
I believe you've asked this because you've probably seen a picture of an acoustic guitar, which uses vibrations to create it's trademark sound. When you strum a string on an acoustic guitar, the sound bounces back into the inside of the guitar (by going through the 'hole'), and bounces back out to increase sound. This is similar to when you shout into a cave. But no, guitars can be made without the acoustic hole. For example, an electric guitar needs no hole, because it uses an amplifier to create sound; same with bass guitars. you are so dumb.

The hollow body of an acoustic guitar amplifies the sound, and the sound then comes out of the hole and also resonates through the guitar wood.
