I will soon be buying a new fender. But I am yet to decide the wood to make up the finger board. Which should I get, Rosewood or Maple?

My suggestion is to go try out both for yourself.

I believe there are slight tone variations as well as feel. What do you want to hear and or feel? What I'd like to know is which one holds up to the test of time and durability from daily play?

Personal opinion is a Strat maple neck is just sexy, anything else rosewood or ebony.

Both my strats are maple fretboard.....i tried the Am Dlx SSS Ash body w/rosewood and was pretty upset by the sound of it.Was pretty mellow and dull...but when i compared it to Rory Gallagher Custom Shop which is rosewood...i was totally blown away by the tone thats came out from the amp....awesome.

Maybe my next Fender will be of rosewood fretboard..
