Are you trying to avoid a film finish? Martin uses Behlen Master Gel urethane finish on the Stratabond necks. That would work. I’d apply the first coat or two by wet-sanding with it and 400 wet/dry paper. I make a penetrating finish with equal parts pure tung oil, gloss polyurethane, and mineral spirits that I have used on “speed necks” for years. Again I wet-sand in the first couple of coats.

<p> Shellac would be a good choice. A high quality musical instrument shellac applied with a brush. A brushing lacquer would work too. Both dry quickly.</p>
