Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
"You could go away, have a bite. Still be hearing that one."
For shame Fretboard, for shame.
Point 2 two peices of same species sound different.
Point 3 two strats made with same species will sound different.
Point 4 two strats made from different species of wood can sound the same.
Main point, all guitars sound different and some sound very similar, which is better is subjective.
A strat can be made from Ash with maple fretboard, staggered pickups and bent steel saddles and still sounds like a strat.
A strat can be made with Alder body, rosewood fretboard, active pickups and solid saddles and still sounds like a strat.
Last but not least two players can play same strat and the guitar will sound different.
And people worry about "tonewood"

Maybe my dad was right and the 1/4" of wood on the face of the neck makes the square root of naff-all difference.
Either way, it's a smaller change than that made by a fresh packet of strings on my guitars at least.
You could be stuck next to him on a long, slow train journey while he gives you the benefit of his superior knowledge.
I have been playing guitar for best part of 50 years, 40 of that gigging, had about a 100 guitars, vintage and non vintage, loads of strats and tele's, after all that experience I realise the differences are just that, we hear differences.
Not what's better, just what sound we prefer, and that's only at that particular moment, next night in a different venue we prefer a different guitar.
But yes a maple board will generally sound different to rosewood board - Are both yours alder bodies or is one ash
