I just got my first maple fretboard RG550. I have 5 other RGs all with Rosewood fretboards. I don't like the feel of the maple. It definitely gives more resistance when bending and just has a "stiffer" feel. I wonder why anyone uses maple over Rosewood.
Are there any secrets to give a maple fretboard a slicker feel?
Thanks.

John
