I've always played maple fingerboard guitars only.
My first guitar had one and I've never really liked the feel of any other fretboard woods since.
I have spent a good few years looking around for a core maple fingerboard custom 24 or McCarty with no luck at all.
In the end, saved up hard and bought a not insignificantly priced wood library custom 24 just to have a maple fingerboard custom 24. Which I'm absolutely delighted with and will be buried with it I think
however, I don't think I could ever regularly gig with it. TBH I'm scared to take it out of the house right now
I know now that there are a few more maple fingerboard PRS models available/becoming available, particularly the bolt-on models than there used to be years ago. With regard to that, the Dustie Waring signature guitar does look really nice although I think id end up having to change a lot on it to suit me and single-coil strat type guitars just ain't for me either as nice as the Fiore and silver sky models look.
I've just always found it strange that maple fingerboards a so few and far between with PRS guitars unless you go with the wood library or private stock. Most companies offer at least one maple fingerboard option for each of their guitar models.
Id really love to get myself a regular giggable not scared if it got a few knocks PRS guitar from the core series.
A core custom 24 or McCarty with a Dustie Waring sig style neck on would be the dream.
It'd also be amazing to see a Santana, Tremonti or even an anniversary Dragon series with a maple fingerboard option also one of these day <3
