The pickups convert vibrating strings to electrical signals, so how would the type of wood they’re embedded in affect the tone? (Or even a hollow vs solid body?)

Technically, everything in the room affects the sound – even a sticker on the guitar. Technically, gravity from Jupiter is pulling on you.
You just opened one most vitriolic debates in the online guitar community. At least, it used to be.
The fact is, wood does not change tone in any way that would be perceptible to a human. Especially when you add effects, etc.
Acoustic instruments are effected because how different woods vibrate. However, with electric instruments, the vibrations are picked up by…well…a pick up. That’s what matters.

It doesn’t make a ton of difference in the same way it does with conventional guitars but it can affect how the strings vibrate, which in turn affects the sound. After all the strings are under tension and being held in tension by the body of the guitar. If the guitar body vibrates, the strings vibrate, and if the strings vibrate, the guitar body vibrates. This can affect the sound that’s produced.
