Wow! I've been waiting for months for someone to expend the effort to put together a comparison like this. I've always wondered how different a maple and rosewood board would look if someone could somehow track both down and put them side-by-side--but to be honest, the very idea of having them together in the same room scared the heck out of me. Kinda like mixing matter and antimatter. The whole universe could explode.

Thanks a lot man...and be careful.


THEY LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME!!1!!111!!!!!1!1!

my world is shattered, up is down, left is green! AH!!!
 
As anyone that's been around here long can tell you, the difference between a maple fingerboard and a rosewood fingerboard is in the way the *sound*, not the way they look.
