Hi mates!

For my first build, I got a couple of question about finishing.

1- got a spalted maple top, would like to put on a clear finish over the top, just to highlight the spalting, but not 'fade' it by adding colors. I also don't really want a glossy finish, well not too much. What would you recommend as a matte/satin clear top coat? I would probably use the same top coat over the back of the guitar, but I was thinking of staining the back, so would have to be compatible.

2- What do you prefer using for finishing the neck?

3- I ordered it with a Jatoba fretboard, we'll see when I receive it, but might want to darken it a bit, not black as ebony, but medium dark brown... What would you use?

Finally, after darkening the fretboard, do I only swipe with some lemon oil?

I'm still reading on every options, listening videos and gathering indormations, but the opinion of experienced builders might help!

Thank you guys!
