I'm wondering if others use any kind of wax on their maple fretboards. I'm thinking of using Johnsons floor wax.

I just used Fender polish. Floor wax is tough and might be interesting to try. I do know it leaves a wax film that can build up, thus the whole thing about "stripping floors" from time to time to get the floor wax off. Let me know what happens.......

Good grief ! No!
Don't use a floor wax...get some Fender Polish or Dunlop 65.
I only use it on the back of the neck too. Not the fretboard.

I'd never use anything that could leave a cruddy buildup on a guitar,I use and have always used polishes and conditioners made specifically for guitars.I'd only wax my fretboard if I intended to walk over it.

Right ... avoid the build it.

It will only cause you more work when it comes time to clean it off.
