What kind of rosewood.

They still do on some strats. Especially in the custom shop. Brazillian Rosewood tends to have light colored streaks in the grain, it's a decorative wood. As far as tone differences, it's a preference call. I personally don't here any tonal difference between the two woods.

Not to be too pedantic, but Strat NECKS are made from maple, and the FINGERBOARDS are made from either rosewood or maple. I believe Brazilian rosewood is now an endangered species, so it carries a premium price, which is why it appears on Custom Shop instruments.
;) Reelin' in the years...

Don't you just love that attitude? The, "your about to kill of a species, so it's really valuable" thing, it happens with animals too. Grrr.
"Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year, it's just not that widely reported".
