[William F.Eden]

I am building a guitar for a customer and he don't want Laquer on tha neck because when you sweat it gets sticky.       Any one know  what to use? Thanks for any help you can give me. Bill.'''''''''''

I use lacquer almost exclusively.  Haven't had ANY problem with sticky necks, and actually most of the comments I get are regarding how fast my necks are. 

Here's the order of my steps in a nutshell:

spray the lacquer,

scrape/level the lacquer surface

block wet-sand 400 grit

hand wet-sand 600 grit

buff w/ 0000 steel wool

buff w/ red felt (the felt cloth, not a felt wheel)

apply Johnson's Paste Wax

buff w/ cotton cloth

Play it!!!!!

This gives a semi- satin hand-rubbed look and feel that is incredibly smooth and fast.  Personally, I find that ANY high-gloss shiny surface feels sticky to me.

YMMV,
