Just to make it worse
In case that disquisition on frequencies wasn't bad enough, I was winding down with a little peaceful googling and came across the following information; you can influence the partials with your playing. Of course you can. Play near the bridge, you get a brighter sound. Play closer to the ideal middle of the string, and you enhance the evens, hence a warmer sound. At least I think that would be the logic there.

That's right. For some flamenco-style sounds you can just kind of rake the plectrum across the strings right next to the bridge. Do that while going from E major to F major to G major & you can start your own bullfight.
