EDIT: my keywords are "how to finish a neck with satin"
You should read the opening post and use google to try and understand what satin means. Satin, gloss, semi-glass, matte are terms used to describe the sheen of a finish. It is not a type of finish. Try going to Home Depot and asking for just satin. You could be asking for paint, polyurethane or material to make a dress as satin describes all three.

Epiphone Les Pauls are finished with poly, whether it is gloss or satin, unless it is a Japanese made Limited Edition Laquer model.

He could get a "satin" finish by using satin poly, dulling down a gloss poly or going for a Gibson Les Paul feel and using nitrocellulose lacquer. For a different feel to the neck you could also leave it raw or use tung oil. There are many options.
