Stingray Swap

I went from a blue dawn rosewood to a natural maple hs - Check out the pickguard!!!

The blue dawn had a thinner neck making it much easier to play, but the hs setup is so versatile.

Any other opinions on the two?

 

I actually meant the fingerboard - I've ab'd a number of h/hs/hh maple and rosewood rays and sterlings and they all sound different. The maple has a brighter tone with more snap and the rosewoods tend to have a more present bass+low+low mid response.

 

Pickguard is a custom by terrapin guitars

 

Yes, there was a significant difference between the feel and playability of the 2 necks. It seemed to be thinner.
