The sound from a solid body electric is generated in the pickups and managed via the electronics. End of story. The bridge and nut do affect to how well the strings can vibrate so they are also contributing factors. All of the other vibrations/resonances may be noticable if you are the one playing the guitar as you can feel it in your hand and hear some of them depending on the situation but absolutely none of that translates to the signal being outputted by the electronics in a meaningful way, and if it does at all, the effect is negligible.
I understand this is an unpopular opinion, mostly due to the amount of utter garbage floating around guitar circles regarding this, but I won't be swayed from it.
