Soft Maples are known for there high internal dampening, but Red Maples have the highest stiffness to weight, which works out wonderfully for necks. Red Maple is incredibly variable. Some Red Maples can be harder than Rock Maple. 

This piece is on the harder side. The stiffness to weight is even more than Rock Maple. Some people prefer light necks that add to the sound and some prefer heavy stiff necks that don't. At the thickness of a neck, Red Maple transfers all the vibration straight to strings absorbing almost no sound. Its stiffness to weight means you'll get a little more color in the high end. So it will give a little more sustain than a Rock Maple neck but a little less note clarity.
