Red Maple Vs Hard Maple?


Recommended Posts

I looked up "tonewoods" but what is the diff between red-maple and hard maple?

are either of these better for necks?

From what I understand, red maple is softer, but more common. I would pay the extra for hard maple for a neck. Quartersawn or laminate would be best, but not entirely necessary. A lot of shops call their hard maple rock maple, same thing.
