Maple or Engineered Rosewood Fretboard?

I've made a custom body using a sacrificial Squier Bullet Mustang.

Happy with the result so ready to move to the next stage, which includes a neck from a Pitbull DMS-1 https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/...itar-kit-copy/
So I wonder whether to go with a Maple or Engineered Rosewood Fretboard. I've no experience with either, what do forum members think is the better choice?

[cough] Maple. [cough] Always preferred the real stuff more than the engineered because its natural - not for any sonic qualities :).

I have no experience with maple, but I have experience with engineered rosewood.
I would go maple.
Having said that and you still want to go down the engineered rosewood path, you will have to seal it somehow. I used about seven coats of tru oil and rubbed with 0000 steel wool once dry to remove the glossy feel. I believe some people have used CA glue.
Take care with masking tape as it can pull fibres out from the fret board.
Nice shape to your ergonomic guitar.

Engineered rosewood fretboard treatments is getting discussed in a tread here:

I have both.
I would go maple.
Engineered rosewood looks .... err ... well, engineered!

Maple has the look and feel of quality.

Maple. Unfortunately engineered rosewood on the kit guitars really isn't very good at all. There are decent engineered wood board materials around, but they obviously too costly to use in the kits.

I can't see the option box on the DMS-1 kit for selecting maple or EW, so the EW may no longer be available (assuming the kit pic is still valid) or it may be an oversight on that web page. Worth checking via email with Pitbull before any ordering
