knowledge: The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings' vibration, amplified by the hollow body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber.
response: I don't know, but I do know that the sound an acoustic guitar makes comes from the vibrating strings, which get amplified by the hollow guitar body.
