Same thoughts as Kristofer posted. Maple necks are famous for a brighter tone. Since you don't have a maple fingerboard guitar, that sounds like a fun option for sure. Maybe try out some rosewood vs maple strats in the store to see how you like their tone as its a bit different. I have always played with rosewood fretboard and then made a switch to maple. I liked the brighter tone and just the way how instrument looks sleek with the maple fretboard
I haven't really noticed much change in playability live and I sweat like crazy. Rosewood does feel like it should provide more "traction" and maple feels "slippery" on touch but in combination of fretting strings and laying fingers against frets - I really don't feel much change or lack of control when playing. Wonder how others feel about this? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I've made my choice, Maple it is Seeing as I don't have a guitar with a maple neck I'm going to choose that. I've ordered it so should have it the start of the week so I guess I'll have to get off my ass and post an rec take with it when it gets here I love the look of maple necks and I've got a 3 tone sunburst sunburst body so looks sweet, going to be like an expectant father till it arrives. Thanks for the input guys. Congrats on getting your first maple neck guitar! Please let me know your impressions when it arrives. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
