Which will get the popular vote? I have both, but, I'm going Maple!

For me it depends on the guitar. Since this is a strat forum...maple

have both one on a custom strat im doing myself and maple on my 50th anniversary....gonna have to go maple all the way

I prefer rosewood myself, maple tends to get nasty looking once worn and I hate that.

I have an ebony board on my ultra, it's hardwearing and it has a more bright tone to it- if I had my way Id actually have ebony- but its rare on fender guitars and is rather expensive

I got a maple because I liked the feel and because I felt that it also signified a Strat more than Rosewood. That said I also decided to get a HSS model which will get you hung by some Strat purists so 1 out of 2 isnt bad right?

I have both. I have long been a big fan of Rosewood, however the Maple one I have is excellent.

I will have to say...............















Both.

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

I have Strats of each type and they both have their merits but no drawbacks so I'd give them a tie score.

I have both. Two rosewoods and one maple. I like each but would have to say I prefer the maple.

Wasn't this topic banned due to repetitive ad-nausem?

Here's a thought: Who would prefer a rosewood neck with a maple fingerboard?

Rosewood.

I like both.

I prefer Pau Ferro or Koa, they are more fun to say.

Now there's an idea!
Or just solid one piece rosewood necks.

yeah really now that i think about it i like both a lot, they each have their own qualities and characteristics that are unique in sound and feel so you cant really compare

It is amazing that we have never discussed this topic before ...
