      Brazilian rosewood would always be the choice if we could

      The sound, the look and especially the feel. Indian rosewood doesn’t have the waxy feel of Brazilian, nothing quite does. Pau ferro sounds/plays fine with a little more attack but generally looks rather bland.

      Ziricote is pretty cool but from my limited experience you have to watch out for pieces with very open grain.

        I'd take maple or ebony over Brazillian rosewood.

            Maple doesn't need a sticky finish. Much like women, maple is best stripped naked and oiled up.

                    Use a scalloped neck...you never touch the wood, and it is only there for looks and tone!

                    Actually, I've been digging unusual fretboard woods. With so many species of wood out there, I am always amazed at how few we use.

                      I like the smooth Glass Carbon Fiber Parker style
                      or the Phenolic / Richlite manufactured wood products

                        I'm not.

                        Given the hullabaloo over baked maple, obeche and the ebony substitute Richlite - guitar players have shown they are not progressive in the slightest. Even Fender adherents complain (in ignorance) about the expanded use of Pau Ferro - despite it being on basses and the SRV signature strat for over 15 years.

                          Some of us are willing to experiment. I've got a baked maple and Pau Ferro Warmoth neck on one of my strats, feels looks and sounds amazing.

My frets tend to be medium jumbo or jumbo by the way.
                            I guess it's playing style differences, and maybe you have tiny or skinny fingertips or we have fat stumpy ones...

                              I've played a one piece bloodwood neck, and a maple neck with kingwood fretboard. Both were absolutely killer.

                                I am constantly reminded of this when I have real-life conversations with players in my area. I thought rock was about rebellion, but not so much.
