Marc Guitar's video: Maple Verses Rosewood Guitar Fretboard shoot out

Which sounds better: maple or rosewood? In this video I compare the wood by swapping necks on two Mexican Fender stratocasters. Is maple better than rosewood? Or is rosewood better than maple? The first strat is a 2019 Mex Strat HSS. The second strat is a 1995 Mex Strat SSS. There are a few slight differences between the guitars: - Old strat has slightly hotter pickups - New strat has better tuners - New strat has better bridge - New strat has a slightly nicer neck in terms of fretboard and frets - new strat has 3 ply scratch plate, whereas old strat has single ply scratch plate But there really is not much to choose between these guitars Both guitars were played into the Blackstar HT5-R, without changing the settings and DI'd. This is a Rosewood vs Maple Guitar Tone Comparison shootout!
