Well I have used lemon oil on my waxed maple necks, only the fingerboard though, and not very often, three times a years or so.

What about maple neck/fretboards with a satin or tung oil finish?
Hey Rid, cool signature BTW. Rammstein is so cool.

Tung Oil uses Gunstock oil if I remember correctly.
Honestly...with a standard maple neck....you could take a leak on it and it would achieve the same effect as using lemon oil or anything else. The only reason you should need to put ANY liquid on there ever is to loosen up gunk for cleaning.

I use lemon oil on my maple fingerboard guitars...doesn't hurt it and makes it smell nice! I use the Parker and Bailey brand because it is non-toxic and non-flammable and is really just mineral oil/baby oil. The stuff that's flammable is made from something else...some kind of petrolium product. The finish on my maple fingerboard guitars is pretty thin and worn off...so some oil gets in there to the wood.
Tung Oil is not recommended because it takes forever to dry and just sits on the surface for a week or two before drying.
It's a great finish...I finish my furniture with it...but it's not a great conditioner or polish to apply TO an already finished piece of wood.
You know, I'm a wood guy. I design custom furniture for a living...

It's great on a bare maple neck.

Is your neck finished? Assuming it is, then you shouldn't use oil on it.
