Anyone used this for guitar necks? How many coats would 3 ounces get me? Thanks!

I did 10 coats on an entire Les Paul, body and neck, with 3 ounces. To get the best effect use very thin coats and let dry for at least 8 hours between coats. This helps the wood grain really stand out.

What is the point of sanding between applications?

The point of sanding between coats of Tru-Oil is to remove imperfections such as runs, tiny bubbles, etc. If there are runs, I use 400 grit sandpaper. Otherwise I use 0000 steel wool.

How dark would this turn unfinished maple?

An old trick, moisten your finger tip and touch the wood. Then imagine more depth and richer color. Maple will not turn dark. Try the the wet finger you'll see the color. Mineral oil will give gloss no color enrichment. Watco oil will give color but no gloss So you need to ask yourself what kind of finish are you looking for? Lastly grab a piece of maple and experiment. If you playing with a cutting board then it's block oil or mineral oil.

Is this considered food safe for use on kitchen knife scales?

Tru Oil isn't considered food safe, although I fall to see how it would come into contact with the food being prepared. If this is a major concern then I would use stablized wood or a resin based handle material
