Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

Holy Moly somebody get that and tell us about it! What an incredible price for a pretty niche product. If the neck is properly fretted it's worth it for the neck alone. Mind you, some of those specs are are a bit weird: Back / Side Material:Maple Tone Position:22 Bow Material:Brazil Wood Back / Side Material:Maple And am I seeing a naughty logo down there in the dark on the headstock? We get the gist. Go on someone. Do it!

I noticed a lot of separate scalloped necks with Fender logos too thunderbird . And one Jazzmaster with 'Made in USA' on the back of the headstock despite the description saying 'Made in China'. The whole guitar buying world has become a lottery it seems. Indeed, but I rather fancy my lottery chances with Thomann, than some fly by night seller on Ali Express.

As far as I know, maple fretboards have to be covered in clear coat, once you wear it down, you have to re-apply it.
Rosewood fretboards don't have to be covered in clear coat, it may require some maintenance, but better in the long run.
And looks are highly subjective, most of maple necks look like made out of lego and extremely ugly.
And bit more info I found on the web:
However, to answer your question, the reason many heavy-metal style guitars have rosewood or ebony fretboards is that laminated necks are stiffer and more stable, and if you have a really thin neck profile (such as the Wizard necks on Ibanez guitars), you get much more tuning stability and lower action if you use a rosewood or ebony fretboard, rather than just 1-piece maple. Also, it's easier to dress and refret a rosewood or ebony board versus a gloss maple board.

We get the gist. Go on someone. Do it! Frequently debated over at strat-talk. Some of them are apparently really nice but I object to the logo. Why not just sell it for what it is? Maybe one day I'll get one...
