I would say my favorite Jimi tone of all time is the Band Of Gypsys Fillmore tone. So Maple for me. Honestly, I don't know how much the neck wood translates to what we, the listeners hear in our easy chair though. I think it had more to do with the room he was playing in, the sound he dialed in and the recording techniques.
So the story goes Jimi would put one smaller gauge string on his guitar and tune it down. That is how he got that jingle sound on his strat
Also The angle of the bridge pickup normally favors the treble strings. With Jimi stringing a right handed strat left handed the bridge pickup favors the bass strings.
