just wax?

I have a nice 2-piece ash tele body that is the start of my next project. And, I was wondering...

I know people use wax (either carnauba or mixed carnauba/beeswax) on bare wood as a finish for some furniture finishes, (smoking) pipes, etc. Would something like this work?:

1. Light stain
2. Light sealer
3. 4-5 coats of 100% carnauba wax (for hardness)

In other words: Is there any down-side to using wax on what is effectively bare wood?
