Vibrations from a guitar string produce sound (unless it is in a vacuum) because the vibration is transmitted by pressure waves through the air - the key is the transmission by mechanical means. A pickup on an electric guitar normally responds to the moving magnetic field caused by the magnetised string vibrating. So the means of transmission is different. I fear we may have strayed from the topic...
