I thought that this subject would get more response if it had its own thread.

Personally, I prefer maple necks for electric; in my experience, I haven't found an acoustic with anything but rosewood. Apparently, rosewood has a warmer tone and maple is brighter. I find that maple necks are a little bit faster, easier to slide and bend on; but the difference is marginal.

I'm sure the others have more insightful comments, let's have them...
