I have a client that is requesting a neck finish that will hold up against his sweaty hands ! Looking for any advice on that issue. Thanks in advance.

I like Tru Oil on necks and very easy to replenish if sweaty palm wears it away.

Polyester (not polyurethane) is one of the toughest finishes commonly used on musical instruments. It can be brushed, sanded and polished. Not an easy finish to work with but very tough when done right.

Yeah. Send it for UV poly and it will outlast the next round of pharaohs.
