I have one with the Maple fingerboard. I changed the stock strings for GHS Precision flatwound strings. Not as much clarity as the roundwounds but I find the playability is much improved. I think it needs a blend pot or the jack socket moving to accommodate individual volume controls.
I went for a blend pot on mine - much prefer it to the the three-way switch.

OMG! I was hanging out with my luthier pal Dustin, and he was putting a blend knob, a Badass bridge, and Duncan Quarter Pounders on a LPB one. It looks good- maple fretboard was a bit on the light side, for my taste.

You know, I may have to go with a blend pot, too. I love it on my Harmony Stratotone.
