Is it possible to varnish the neck of my Squier.
Its just bare wood at the moment. Would a couple of coats of varnish harm it a all ?
I've just read a topic and saw yogi's Squier with a glorious coat of varnish. Must admit it looks great.

Many thanks 8)

Well thats the neck on my Classic Vibe, it came stock with that finish. I'm pretty sure it is more than possible to add a gloss finish to your bare Squier neck.

Thats another factor.

I was at my lesson last night and my tutaor has an Eric Clapton series, i had a go of it and it felt great, complete with varnish, alas out of my price range. :(

Actually your neck is varnished but with a satin finish. Many people do not like the glossy finish as it can get sticky. Many players sand the back of there necks to remove the gloss. An unfinished neck is prone to damage from moisture.
