Maple or rosewood or ebony figerboard?

A lot of people claim there isn't much difference in tone when it comes to fingerboard Personally, I find that both my telecaster and stratocaster which both have maple fingerboards tend to produce a "brighter" tone, while my SG and Gretsch with rosewood fingerboards produce a "darker" tone.Of course, the woods used in each guitar's body can have an effect on this as well.Some people like ebony fingerboards because they play more "smoothly", that there is less resistance against the player's fingers when they bend or do slides.Try a bunch of different guitars with different types of wood and go with whatever you like best.
