Answer
The stringed instruments like guitar are provided with a hollow soundbox containing air because when strings are made to vibrate, forced vibrations are produced in air of the sound box.
The surface area of air in the sound box is large, so the forced vibrations of air send forth a greater energy and cause a loud sound.
