ive been having a hard time descerning some of the more subtle differences between the two neck types, besides the darkness and brighness of the general sound. i see that Ron prefers the maple, and im wondering if those lend themselves better to speed and accuracy. at the moment, im playing in a sort of tech/jazz/metal band where i am the only guitarist, so im kinda trying to cover the bases of lower palm muted chugging along with single note patterns and higher sweeps. i guess im wondering if any depth of bottom is actually lost in the maplewood neck, or if that is just a myth. for now, im playing a cheap epiphone/gibson SG with a rosewood neck and a good dimarzio pick up i put in the brige, im tuning down to a kinda weird C# tuning with TNT ghs strings, so its not too bad, but i just need something better.
ive been looking recently at a few different guitars, mostly ibanez in the rg series and wondering if anyone had any suggestions about those or any comprable guitars as well. thanks
