I still believe that real tone is in the fingers.
Scientifically (i guess), I would say this has to do with a number of things. Not so much HOW you play, but how your FINGERS play. Such as:
-The thickness of your fingers
-The thickness of your skin
-The texture of your skin
-The length of your finger (determining what part of your
finger plays which string)

Those are all superficial compared to the tone itself. Go to a guitar shop, try out a lot of guitars, you will find a lot of different tones depending on the model and brand. For example Strats have clearer, more "liquid" tones while SGs have a more thicker, funkier tone, and ES guitars have a more crisper, smoother tone.
