I want to put a decal on the headstock of a replacement neck. It's birdseye maple with a satin finish. I'd like to protect the decal in some way, but not sure what would be the best method. Spray on coating, something painted on, what? I don't want to detract from the satin finish or have something overly glossy and distracting.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

you can find spray on satin finish laquer at places like lowes or home depot

Yep, DEFT at lowe's is good. Just be sure that if it is a water slide decal, let it dry for 24 hours after you put it on before spraying anything over it, or it will wrinkle and look like crap.
