​​@@salildeshpande7 that only depends if it's a finished maple fretboard though. Unfinished requires even more attention than a rosewood because it can get discolored and nasty looking pretty quickly without proper maintenance. Grime still builds up on finished boards so it would be wise to atleast wipe it down with a wet cloth every string change or so. Even on finished boards, the finish wears off eventually. There's also the problem from some of the 90s and early 2000s fenders where the finish will flake off the fretboard into little shards, which I've had happen before, and it's not fun.

Gotta make sure the pick attack point/velocity is uniform in both tests and string spacing from the pickups is the exact same with each neck setup. That could be the difference in tone in this test. From the looks of it, seems like you are strumming closer to the neck in the rosewood demo.

It's been basically already proven that fretboard wood doesn't affect sound. The sound "difference" you hear relies entirely on how you expect the sound to change. If you close your eyes and don't know when the fretboard wood gets switched you won't hear a difference. If you don't believe me, make a video where the fretboard wood randomly changes back and forth and don't tell us when it does. At the end of the video, reveal the correct answers.

In the acoustic world, we know that 2 different pieces of the same type of wood can also sound completely different. So there's still a possibility that the perceived change in tone can come from maple necks rather than the fretboards. The only "true" test would have to be changing the fretboards on the same neck. Since this is super impractical without a specifically engineered solution, I'd propose an alternative of applying this method with as many necks as you can get your hands on seeing how much variation there is between each. If maple IS brighter than rosewood, THEN all the mapleboarded boards SHOULD be brighter than ALL the rosewood boards. Tldr: different pieces of the same kind of wood can also sound vastly different. The sound difference isn't necessarily only in the boards.

@We_Seek_Truth
@We_Seek_Truth Жыл бұрын
How would that distance vary if the same bridge and pickups are used with both necks? The only way that variable could change between necks is if the heights of the string grooves was different in both nuts, and that would cause one to fret out or be too high to play easily. And even then, that would not change the distance of the strings over the pickups that much. But there are a lot of other variables that could easily change the sound, as well as the playability, which is the #1 reason for choosing maple or rosewood, not sound. Some other variables are listed here... Radius of the fretboard. Shape of the back of the neck. Thickness of frets. Fret material. Nut material. Configuration and number of string Ts. Tuners, especially how strings are attached to the posts. Even between necks that are of same type of construction, the same type of wood can vary greatly. Not all maple has the same musicality, or musical qualities. All these things and more affect the sound and/or playability - to various degrees. A simple comparison as this video attempts to do, does not demonstrate nor perform an exacting bench test.

@@illitero I can't "come on". I don't where you're coming from. Can YOU answer that question? I've already explained my position. Changing necks would not change the string height over the pickups without changing the height of the action over the fretboard as well, and that would make it too difficult to play (higher), or cause it to 'fret out' (lower). I've set up enough guitars to know those basic things. And, if the joint where the the neck bolts on to the body is different, it could cause the height/action to change, but that would still result in the problems I described. So, c'mon and explain your rebuttal. If you have some valid points that dispute my assertions, I promise you I will admit it. I'm not a "win at any cost" kind of person.

@@We_Seek_Truth Neck angle like mentioned above by someone else. Maybe different radius neck. Without knowing measurements of final setup between necks, a simple "that'll do" setup could easily yield these kinds of differences in sound - especially if the pickup poles are staggered like they tend to be on Strats, I couldn't really tell. Sound changes when adjusting pickup height by mere millimeters, so it stands to reason that applies to minute changes of string distance from ANY source; including the ones you listed. I don't know why you took my joke as some kind of adversarial challenge. You _literally_ questioned it, and then answered your own question in detail. Twice.

The biggest difference is actually stability. Rosewood is a relatively open pore type of wood. It requires more maintenance than maple, which is often sprayed, lacquered, or finished with some sort of finish. Rosewood tends to shrink and swell with climate and humidity changes. If you look at the Strat players who used tremolo bars, aggressively, Hendrix, Van Halen, David Gilmour and others you’ll notice that many of their finger boards if not all of them were maple. That’s usually the thing I point out when discussing fingerboard differences on Strats or any guitar with regard to tremolo use. Maple is more rigid, has more attack and doesn’t shift and move around as much a rosewood does. On the other hand, rosewood is slightly warmer in the lower mid range, and can help a glassy Stratocaster have more warmth.

I think rosewood has more of an even response, with a smoother edge around the notes. Maple has more punch, more bass and highs… more gainy maybe. I prefer maple and I already have a maple Strat, but it would be nice having rosewood on my next one :)

The only thing changing the sound are the frets, nut, string tree and tunners. Basically everything that gets contact with the strings.

In terms of the way that they feel (separate from tone) I love the way maple feels over rosewood. Both are great but maple just feels so much cleaner.

This was the most accurate comparison. I just made a comment on one video that guitars are imperfect instruments. Comparing 2 different guitars will get more of the same result as if you were using the same fretboard

Slight differences in the fretboard or pickup distance from the strings plus any change in how the pots are dialed all effect tone. If there is a difference, then it is below the threshold of human hearing and certainly below the threshold of the signal generated by the pickup. Just get whatever is cheapest or looks cool
