    As a first step you can try rubbing the neck down with 0000 steel wool - it can greatly improve the feel without needing to refinish. A maple neck is tricky because you need to strip the original finish from between the frets, and either mask the frets before refinishing, or scrape them afterward. Unless you want to do a complete refret as well, in which case you just pull them out before stripping the neck.
