Maple vs. Rosewood.  I like rosewood, with jumbo frets on my Strat.

Oh, EMD of course.  I continue to be a lifelong EMD fan, but GE makes a good locomotive too, and the railroads would be kinda boring with only one locomotive manufacturer.

Every switching crew I've ever talked to would run an EMD before a GE, due to their ride and their load times.

My favorite locomotive is a GP60 but the SD70ACe is catching up.  I always also did like the GE Dash-8 "Pepsi Cans" that Amtrak had/has.  But only in their original paint - there was just something about them that screamed "Awesome".
