I've already made the guitar but don't mind taping off the neck and reso cone, finishing the neck with something else, etc.
Thanks!

And going in the other direction, how to remove paper, labels and such to get that wood only finished look?
And it tends to remain slightly tacky so will accumulate dust and grime.
High end bookbinding glue might be a better bet, but I have not yet tried it. My daughter has a stash, perhaps I'll raid that and report back someday.

No surprise you're ahead of me on this one Diane. I found mention of it on some decoupage art forum when looking for no-smear solutions but haven't tried it myself. Come to think of it, they were using it as a sealer before using white glue or similar to glue the paper down and not before a nice finish like we're after. Oops.

I most certainly was not saying you should hair spray your creations :)
I've got my favorite neck yet with tung oil finish hanging and drying right now (again, not real tung oil but a wipe on varnish with TUNG OIL on the label to fool fools like me), turning out well, and that last coat about half an hour ago worked out much better using Diane's brown paper approach.
I've got a scrap with 2nd coat of low gloss wipe on poly drying, think I'll use it for the neck of the gift for kid guitar since I gather is is tough. I did use spray on the body for that one, wouldn't use it again.
Off topic but have to show it off because I'm happy with it: tung oil is also drying on stand for a horse sculpture/doll. It gets mailed as soon as the stand drys - I made the horse, um, unicorn, gf made doll)
