I was looking at a Les Paul Special last night and it looked like a bargain at around $900 CDN all in. then I noticed it had a Baked Maple fretboard. I haven't seen or played one yet.
I'm disappointed about the gov't confiscating Gibson's rosewood - but that's a whole other thread.
Has anyone been able to try the baked maple fretboards yet and if so how do they feel in comparison to rosewood? Any sonic differences? Are we looking at lots of baked maple in the future?
Will that (partiallly) differentiate the expensive Gibsons from the cheaper ones?
