I know some woods like Paduak don't require a finish but what about a wood like mahogany? I always thought a neck was finished because it would warp since there isn't a lot of wood there (thicknesswise). What would be the danger of having a guitar body unfinished?
with most woods, it'll scratch quite easily - not to mention that it will be a dirt and grime magnet. whether a body can god unfinished depends a lot on the specific wood you refer to
I've said it before, but I once finished an alder (or poplar... who knows back then... it was whitish wood... coulda be poplar) in Kiwi Brown shoe polish. And ya know what? It did ok.
