The vibration of the strings is amplified by the soundhole of the guitar.
If you choose a guitar without this feature, you can buy a soundhole pickup for your guitar for about $60, which allows you to plug your acoustic guitar into an amp.
Guitarists are easy to eradicate (a lighted rag inserted through the soundhole works wonders), as are violinists (a small pair of scissors can snip through the hair on their bow in nanoseconds), but saxophonists are harder to silence, so why not do what I do?
