Maple tends to have a sharper, hoppier after-taste whereas I found that rosewood is a little richer, nuttier and slighty softer on the palate. Both digest equally well with a generous quantity of your favourite lager or real ale.

Welcome to the forum RWL. I'm another love the look of maple type and sometimes I think I can hear slight differences. However, that would be playing with a relatively low power amp (e.g., SCXD) on a very low setting (2 - 3 and clean channel) in a quiet room.

I doubt I could tell if I were to run one of my bigger amps at a higher volume. But there IS still that cool look factor. All that really means though is that if I was looking at two guitars with essentially identical tone and playability, I'd take the maple.

But if the rosewood had even a little better tone and/or playability for me, the neck wouldn't matter.

I could care less about looks as my 62 reissue and American Deluxe are my 2 favorite Teles and both have rosewood necks.
