When you pluck a string on an electric guitar that is plugged in to an amplifier, the pick-ups underneath the strings "hear" the sound, and send it through to the amplifier, projecting the sound of the string plucked.
The type of wave that occurs on a guitar string with both ends fixed is called a standing wave. When the string vibrates, it creates nodes at the fixed ends and antinodes between them, leading to specific frequencies of vibration known as harmonics. These standing waves are responsible for producing the musical tones we hear when a guitar string is plucked.
There is a very simple reason for this, This is actually a deliberate technique known as harmonics/ overtones. When a guitar string is plucked, the string vibrates at several frequencies. The vibration along the entire length of the string is known as the fundamental, while vibrations occurring between points along the string (known as nodes) are referred to as overtones. The fundamental and overtones, when sounded together, are perceived by the listener as a single tone, though the relative prominence of the frequencies varies among instruments, and contribute to its timbre. Harmonics are produced on the guitar by lightly touching a string, rather than fretting it, at any of these nodal points. When sounded the string can no longer vibrate at its fundamental tone; instead it is forced to vibrate at the specific overtones that correspond to the nodal point, resulting in a chime-like tone.
(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. (AGAIN IM NOT POSITIVE ON MY ELECTRIC GUITAR ANSWER, SO IF I AM WRONG PROVEN VIA RESEARCH FEEL FREE TO IMPROVE THE ANSWER! thank you)
Oh, dude, that's like asking what's a fancy way to say "string twanger." It's a string instrument, man. You know, like guitars, violins, cellos, all those things that make noise when you pluck or strum their strings. So, yeah, it's just a fancy way of saying "string instrument."
When a guitar string is plucked or strummed, it vibrates back and forth rapidly. This vibration creates sound waves that travel through the air and reach our ears, allowing us to hear the sound produced by the guitar.

When a guitar string is plucked, it vibrates back and forth rapidly, creating sound waves in the surrounding air. The frequency of these vibrations determines the pitch of the sound produced. The vibrations are amplified by the body of the guitar, producing the sound that we hear.
no fingers on a guitar fret you'll hear whats called an open note, when the strings fully out of the tuner and just flapping from the bridge nothing. quick physics lesson , the more tighter the string is the higher the sound from it
When a string is plucked it vibrates. The vibration of the string is tranfered to the sound bowl of the guitar through the bridge where it resonates further and becomes amplified by the body of the guitar. The amplification takes place by process similar to an echo as it bounces along inside the body until it escapes through the sound hole on the face of the guitar.
The vibrating sound in a guitar is caused by the strings vibrating when they are plucked or strummed. This vibration creates sound waves that travel through the air and are amplified by the guitar's body and sound hole, producing the sound we hear.
A guitar makes sound and produces music by vibrating its strings when they are plucked or strummed. These vibrations travel through the guitar's body, which amplifies the sound. The sound is then projected out through the sound hole, creating music that we can hear.

what physicalsingn did you abserve when you plucked each.did you hear any sound? what produced the sound?
Vibration in a guitar is caused when the strings are plucked or strummed, setting them in motion. The vibrating strings create sound waves that resonate through the body of the guitar, amplifying and shaping the sound. The vibration is further amplified by the guitar's soundboard and air inside the body, producing the audible sound that we hear.
When a harp string is plucked or strummed, it is set into vibration. This vibration creates sound waves that travel through the air, producing the sound we hear. The tension of the string, its length, and the material it is made of all affect the pitch and quality of the sound produced.
