Guitars (acoustic and electric) are made of wood because of the resonance that wood produces when a string is played. Sound travels differently through different materials, and sound can be altered after traveling through different materials.
Certain woods are known to produce better sounds than others, which is why guitars are made of certain kinds of wood - spruce, maple, etc.
