When a string on a guitar is plucked, in an acoustc guitar, the body of the guitar is built to amplify the sound that the vibrating string creates, the sound is then released through a sound port located on the body of the guitar below the strings. On an electric guitar, the strings vibrate towards what is known as a "pickup" located on the body of the guitar. The pickup amplifies the vibrations of the strings. All sounds that a guitar makes is based on where the fingers of the guitarist are on the frets and how well-tuned the guitar is.
