			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stevie Ray Vaughan, in an October 1984 interview with <a title="Guitar Player Magazine" href="http://www.guitarplayer.com/" target="_self">Guitar Player Magazine</a>, responding to the question &#8220;Do any of your guitars have maple necks?&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>Lenny does. It has a real clear tone, and the pickups are microphonic-you can hear it when you hit the pickguard. But when you play it soft, it sounds great. When I first got the guitar, it had a rosewood fretboard, but it was thinner, and that bothered me. So I put a copy of a Fender maple neck on there that Billy Gibbons gave me. I like the rosewood necks usually, because, for one thing, when you sweat, you don&#8217;t get blisters. It seems like the finish on a maple neck gets hotter, and there&#8217;s more friction. As hard as I play and as much as I sweat, I get sore enough as it is. There&#8217;s a fatter sound on the rosewood, as far as I can tell. It&#8217;s not as bright. The ebony fretboard seems a little clearer, but it&#8217;s fat, too.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve <a title="Rosewood Fretboards" href="http://www.guitarlifestyle.com/archives/2007/05/22/rosewood-fretboards/" target="_self">previously expressed</a> my preference for rosewood fretboards. It&#8217;s interesting to hear Stevie Ray&#8217;s opinion on the matter.</p>
