    I wouldn't play it with roundwounds without any fingerboard protection. You will damage it !

    Hey Woks, maple is way tougher than rosewood and from watching some of BG's videos he has a soft enough touch to get away with playing rounds and not cause any damage.

    DT Wax is probably the way to go as a shiny lacquered finish may end up showing signs of wear over time plus it will help retain a more earthy organic feel and sound.

    I did think that DT wax could be the way to go, but I was concerned it might gum up the strings. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
