Warning: possible dumb newbie question ahead...
I own a concert Flea that came with a walnut neck, and a tenor Fluke with a maple neck, both with plastic fretboards. From what I can tell, the company uses walnut on their more expensive models, but I was curious as to why that is.
Although I love both of these instruments, I've found I actually like the look and feel of my maple neck better than my walnut neck. Is there a reason walnut is considered preferable?
