If at all?
Most of my builds have been made using red oak neck and red oak fretboard, mainly because of easy availability. On two recent builds though, I've experimented with Walnut and Cocobolo fretboards. I've noticed the sound on these two builds is a little different and seemingly more responsive (though it may just be me).
I've tried a couple of other different things on these builds as well, so I'm trying to narrow it down as to what exactly it is I've done to create this change. Any thoughts on the fretboard wood?
Thanks, David

tried that idea with the sausage don,i,ll tell you how it went ,once i figure out where my bastard dog buried it
Hehehehehehehehe...
Just look at factory guitars they have done all the work. I have made oak on oak necks they sound fine, is it better then then rose. on mahog. if it was Martin and and Taylor would build them. I have played the same strat with a maple on maple neck and Rose on Maple. maples brighter the rose warmer but the maple was much faster or greasy as oily said. Acoustic bodys is where you learn of the woods real tone, Rosewood bodys the string are separated you can really hear each string very wide sound range, mahogany bodys blend the string a warm together sound. Maple bodys to me is a Jumbo thing.
I'm with bug on the reso. sound nothin beat an old National.
All mahogany top back and sides are way cool try one some day.
