In an acoustic guitar - it's a combination of the string vibrating, and the sound being amplified by the tone hole. In an Electric Guitar, the vibrating string causes current to flow in the pick-up coil - which is then fed to an amplifier.

How does the guitar work to produce different sounds and tones?

The guitar produces different sounds and tones by vibrating the strings when they are plucked or strummed. The vibrations are then amplified by the body of the guitar and the sound is projected through the sound hole. By pressing down on the frets, the length of the vibrating string is changed, which alters the pitch of the sound produced. Additionally, the type of strings used and the way they are tuned also affect the tone and sound of the guitar.
