Technically the answer is "all of them" because all matter at the sub-atomic level is moving or "vibrating".

On most guitars the entire guitar will vibrate when it is played - its part of what makes guitars, especially acoustic guitars, sound so cool. I know - I'm a guitarist - there are three Les Pauls to my immediate right!

Everythig,- except the "strap" holding it up vibrates to some degree, - sometimes even the "player"! The strings vibrate the neck, they also vibtare the "body" (which is the part that gives the "pleasant" sound out -with enough volume that it is easy to hear (in case of acustic guitars!) Even the "string tightening keys" vibrate some! This can be proven with a stethescope placed anywhere on the guitar, there will be some sound transferred through vibration EVERYWHERE! The pickup on electric, - transferres vibrations to amplifier, the majority of sound comes out of the "boxholes" on acustic. But any part that is "not right" will decrease the quality (and possibly quantity) of the sound!

Now the player is another thing, - depends what he has breathed in the past few minutes!!

The part of a guitar that vibrates should be the strings only: this should be the case at all times to avoid distortion of the sound produced by the different strings{variation in the cross- sectional area of the strings of a guitar}

The bridge plays an extremely important function in the volume of the guitar, as it vibrates the top plate, or front, of the guitar body, which creates much of the sound produced by an acoustic guitar.
The body on an acoustic guitar functions as a sound box, where the vibrations of the strings are able to bounce around and become amplified.

The body serves to transmit the vibration of the bridge into vibration of the air around it.

For this it needs a relatively large surface area so that it can push a reasonable amount of air backwards and forwards.

The top plate is made so that it can vibrate up and down relatively easily. It is usually made of spruce or another light, springy wood, about 2.5 mm thick.

On the inside of the plate is a series of braces. These strengthen the plate. An important function is to keep the plate flat, despite the action of the strings which tends to make the saddle rotate.

The braces also affect the way in which the top plate vibrates.

After plucking or strumming the strings, its properties allows it to vibrate. Thus, creating waves (i.e, sound wave) some of the sound wave due to the vibration of the string/s enter/s the Sound Hole and the hollow body acting as a soundboard modulates that sound.

The strings vibrate, the sound resonates (acoustic), or the magnetic field vibrates with the strings to produce an electric signal.

Strings and the pickup- if you're going electric.
