Oo nga.. im sorry mahirap nga hanapin..but i remember there was a topic like this in the past..

anyway, i love maple fretboards, super dalang kong linisin hhehe.. but i use lemon oil pag sinipag akong maglinis.pag nawala na yung paint sa fretboard, exposed na yung maple, this type of wood tends to get dark talaga.. when this happens, di mo na maibabalik sa dati yung puti ng maple board unless lihain mo ng super fine sandpaper. but you have to know what youre doing...

BAdtrip yun pagnawala ang top gloss ng maple...
pag naglagay ka ng oil na pang linis dun sa part na yun..lalong iitim yun
at magmumukhang madumi..... I read that somewhere kaya din ata lumabas ang rosewood sa guitar scene dahil naghanap sila ng alternative
sa maple dahil nga parang nauubos... eventually nung late 50's lumabas
na yung mga strat ng rosewood fingerboard. Correct me if i am wrong....

Pero para sa akin ang pinaka magandang feel sa neck
ay ang maple na gasgas na gasgas ang likod.
Remember that Metallica video na soundtrack ng Mission Impossibe
asa tuktuk sila ng landscape yung parang surf BAttered green strat ni
Kirk duon...
"double shot triple espresso with a black coffee chaser without the 'frying bacon sound' tone'..."
