I wonder to what degree, if and when maple and rosewood boards sound different, it is simply because of the coating applied to the maple boards.

I have a plan. I will grainfill and nitro a rosewood board on one of my Squier Tele necks, after having first ascertained that it sounds the same as its sister necks of the same model. They'll be compared afterward, see what happens.

I have this maple necked AV52 FSR that was shipped down here from North Georgia recently. The fret sprout wasn't bad, isn't bad, but it is taking longer to subside, much longer than unfinished rosewood fretsprout has in the past.
