Binnerscot Well-known member Mar 19, 2011 #23 Re: Rosewood or maple fretboard?? I have always preferred maple on Strats. In fact, rosewood is my least preferred board on any guitar. It sounds good and looks good, but I really like maple and ebony.

Ebony guitars tend to have sharper attack IMO, and as a metal played, this is what I seek the most. On the other hand, a single-coil equipped guitar cleans up best with maple IMO.
