Spray a fine mist of acrylic clear coat over the autographed area. One coat of the protective spray will work fine. Allow the clear coat to dry before playing or moving the guitar. If the guitar has already been signed with a permanent marker or sharpie, use a clear nitrocellulose lacquer to preserve the signature.

How do you preserve your signature on an acoustic guitar?
To preserve that cherished autograph on your guitar, you should follow these steps:
- Sand the surface around the signatures.
- Remove excess dust.
- Spray the surface with an adhesion promoter.
- Apply a layer of acrylic clear coat.
- Coat with a solvent-based clear lacquer to finish it off.
How do you seal autographs?
Use a dry iron (no steam) and keep the iron flat over the signature for at least one minute. Do not rub which could smear the ink, but lift the iron up and down over the signature while applying firm pressure to prevent scorching. If you don't have an iron, toss the signed fabric into the dryer.
Will Sharpie stay on a guitar?
a sharpie is good for writing on acoustic guitars, I used it on mine, and it worked fine and didn't rub off.
