On another note, I saw you mentioned in another thread about using wax to finish a maple fret board. I have been looking at what options I have for a maple board so I was wondering if you, or any one else, had had any experience with unsealed maple boards and how to go about it.

Cheers
you really should seal it, the biggest strat and tele manufacturer on the planet is Fender they seal them and I can't say I've ever heard a bad American strat or tele I'm a bit old school I'm not into oil fretboards, Fender is going over to 2k but try a clear lacquer and sand it back with 2000 and leave it and feels really nice on maple if your going to use a water slide decal you really need to clear it in but you do you
