......well, it seems to me "acoustics" differs from this point of view.  
the string vibrates...the chambers resonate.  It's the amplification 
properties of the chambers themselves that create the sustain.  Take an 
acoustic guitar without the huge box and you haven't got much.  Play any 
hollowbody guitar vs. solid body...play through any good quality speaker 
cabinet and then through a speaker sitting on the workbench and you start 
to appreciate what "chambers" can do.
