Ain't sure if there's any truth in that but mine are all maple just cuz I like the look.

I love maple!

I'm a maple man myself. I like the slick feel, and the look. Maple and Fender go together like peas and carrots, Forrest..

Yep. The last one isn't getting new posts, so it's time for a new one. I'll start:

@Handsome McClane maple isn't slick, you're feeling the finish. Which is made of plastic. Plastic coated rosewood is slick, too.

Carry on!

As do you and thank you!

I dream of a day where I can tell the difference. Until then I just play what looks good.

I know that. But I don't have any plastic coated rosewood boards. They don't seem to make a lot of them.

I like the way maple dirtys up. After some time playing it after an oil change on the car it looks like Ive been playing for years.
