Interesting. I just checked my "collection" thinking I'd try that on my lacquered necks, turns out I don't have any anymore!I saw a video where someone from the Fender custom shop said a couple of applications of carnauba wax will make any sticky gloss neck feel slick.
The acrylic lacquer ones I did have, have been stripped and refinished in poly.
So my 11 electrics necks have: gloss poly x 2; satin poly x 7 and Tru Oil (gloss) x 2
I have done the gloss front/satin back on a few of mine. However the last few have been all satin. Mostly out of lazinessAnd you can always combine a gloss headstock face with a satin rear finish if you want the gloss look but satin feel.![]()
