I get picky about fingerboard materials I swear Maple and rosewood sound NOTHING alike, ebony is its complete own thing that not only sounds but FEELS different for example I can tap WAY better on ebony than anything else, its hard as fuck. Jatoba is really under appreciated its hard but has that bloomy bite of maple and some warm overtones. It feels rerally solid and confident and CITES aside I wish it would have stayed an option and Im glad I got one with it while it was prevalent.

Theres also a visual, inspirational element to which fingerboard you play. Just visually as I process the landscape of the fretboard ay 900 miles an hour Maple is comforting and homey and im an autisti and synethetic and it really gets me in a mind set. Same energy but new with that sweet rosy orange of Jatobe
