I'm going to have a similar problem with finishing the neck. Until it arrives I dont know if the neck will need finishing or not, Im guessing it will. A few questions have cropped up:
What colour should I do it? What do I use to finish it? Will the fret board need finishing?
The best site Ive seen online is the manchester guitar tech, they have just sprayed a few thin coats of tinted lacquer, to make it look vintage (no brand of tinted lacquer is mentioned) then buffed it up with what looks like a T-Cut like polish (they call it a proprietary rubbing compound - the brand they use is called Safe-cut) This looks like a pretty good way to go about it.
Biggest problem: Ive got very little space to spray it.
Other problems: Where on earth do you get a tinted lacquer from? What brand do I use? What kind of tint is needed to get that vintage look? I cant just go to homebase or B+Q and ask for tinted lacquer can I?
