Totally agree with you. My semi-hollow body definitely has a different tone from my solid body electrics.I agree. The "tone wood" thing with electrics is voodoo, and thinking fretboard wood makes a difference that human ears can detect is even moreso.
That said, I think construction — like solid-body vs. semi-solid vs. archtop — makes a difference.
And, as for the fretboard wood, some claim they can tell a difference but there's no way I can.
Now, on an acoustic, is there a difference between a spruce top and a mahogany top? Or the back and sides? You bet. They're noticeable. But some of that other stuff to me is nonsense.
