Two American Fender Telecasters, One Big Question Maple or Rosewood?

Can you really hear the difference between a maple and rosewood fingerboard on a Fender Telecaster? In this video I compare two fantastic USA-made Telecasters that are both currently for sale: 🎸 2014 Fender American Standard Telecaster (Rosewood Fingerboard) 🎸 2023 Fender American Performer Telecaster (Maple Fingerboard) You'll hear plenty of clean and overdriven sound samples, along with my thoughts on how these guitars compare in terms of tone, feel, playability and overall character. The American Standard is fitted with Custom Shop pickups and is an exceptionally lightweight example, while the American Performer represents Fender's modern USA production line. Both are excellent guitars, but do they actually sound different because of the fingerboard material? Watch, listen, and decide for yourself.
