I'm fantasizing about owning an all-ebony Telecaster one day but I've never taken the time to sit down and really experience an ebony fretboard. My buddy insists they are closer in feel to maple than rosewood, which is encouraging because I really don't like the friction / grain of rosewood, but I've never really experienced playing one in the right way. I've noodled around on his Les Paul Custom in the past but was too distracted by the feel and weight of the body to pay attention to the neck.
Opinions on ebony? Especially in comparison to maple and rosewood?
