Maple on Teles.
Rosewood on Strats.
Ebony on Acoustics.

Rosewood is easier to take care of and does not look as worn after a few years of playing. Maple sounds a little brighter when playing while rosewood sounds a little warmer. Overall 85% of all the guitars I have ever owned have been with a dark neck (either rosewood or some other dark wood). I just like the looks of it and how easy they are to maintain. However, the next guitar I buy will have a maple neck (more than likely) as that is one of my criteria. I am looking for a nice Telecaster for my next guitar.
