Hi,

I am in the process of buying myself a first electric guitar. Have been playing acoustic with rosewood fingerboard, but for the strat I have the choice between mapple and rosewood. I have read that rosewood has a warmer rounder sound, while mapply is punchier and sharper.

any recommendation on versatility, preferences, tone comparison videos.. ?

thanks a lot
