Nice. Suhr doesn't seem to build many with maple boards does he?

We only build 'em as dealers and consumers spec out 'em out. But I noticed that even during my days at Fender, the Rosewood board guitars outnumbered the Maple board guitars by over 2 to 1 (in the 70% to 30% range).

Why do you suppose that is?

What a sad, sad statistic that is.

Not diggin' the gold hardware (I'd prefer chrome on that guitar), but I love the Faded Denim finish. Had a standard finished like that and it was beautiful...

My Suhr had a Maple neck and was an absolutely amazing guitar. The only thing I couldn't get used to was the HUGE boat neck that it came with...

Whenever I get to order the 7 string they're doing, it might be in that color. Great guitar.

I think there's a general perception amongst inexperienced players that a separate fingerboard (various species of Rosewood, Ebony, Pau Ferro, etc.) is more "deluxe" than one-piece Maple. As for the more experienced players, it's a matter of preference, but Rosewood is a bit smoother (more low-mids) with a softer attack than Maple while having a little more high-end presence. It also doesn't get dirty as easily as Maple although I don't think people consider that as a reason for going with Rosewood.
