Acoustical instruments have definite personalities that come from the parts of tge instrument -how they vibrate, how those vibrations couple to the air around them, and how all that radiates to the farfield, where the listener is.
Electric instruments have character as well. The mechanical/acoustical stuff is more limited, but it is still there- how the neck and body steal energy from the string affects how tge string vibrates, so it plays a part.
Electric instruments have pickups. Where they are placed, how they are combined in a circuit sets up a comb filter, which can be very complicated - the filter there gives different designs different timbres, just like you’d have with different acoustical designs.
