    On my black tele i coloured the fretboard (using Colortone dye but DT stain coat is equivalent) and then used DT wax over the top. REally happy with the results. the DT wax given a very smooth and playable surface.

    cheers,
    Gav.

    How often would you need to reapply the wax on a maple fret board?

    Been playing it for 12 months on and off with no visible change. Maybe a re-wax every 5 sets of strings? Not sure but it seems very resilient at the moment. The wax doesnt seem to be going anywhere.

    cheers,
    Gav.
