    Maple or Rosewood

    Hey folks, I'm buying an American Strat this week and I've been pondering the Maple / Rosewood fret board issue. I've played both and I haven't noticed much of a difference. Just wondered if the other players on this board have a preference and if so is it based on playablity or looks?
