Acoustic Guitar Body Designs

a question about arch-top guitars, pickups, and body materials- ?
I have a question about arch-top guitars, and the question is- why? It seems to me that the sound is totally electronic with the majority of the tone being recreated in the amp, rather than the body. Why is it that arch-tops and semi-hollows are said to have a different sound if the sound is electric rather rather that acoustic? I can’t hear any difference myself. Does body vibration really matter or is the arch-top really just a nostalgic quality that was technologically a go between from acoustic to the solid body design?
The sound is not Completely electronic the semi-hollow body produces a more richer tone than a regular solid body electric but the Amp does not recreate the majority of the tone the guitar produces the tone (which can be altered with an effects pedal) the amp just amplifies the sound hince the name amp without the amp though you can’t tell much of a difference The headstock is mostly cosmetic except in a few cases. if you have any more Questons just ask
