No need for excuses - it's a well documented fact that rosewood  
fingerboard gives a "warmer" sound compared to a maple neck guitar.  
But I kind of like the maple necks although I subscribe to similar  
sound esthetics; if you warm up the sound by rolling off treble I dig  
the distinct attack you get with the jazz tone from a maple board.   
For a while I kept swapping necks between my guitars to find out  
about that (and other things). This experience goes mostly with  
Fender guitars. I never removed parts from Gibson ES guitars or  
Ibanez George Benson that I have owed during different periods.
