Do you have any info or evidence to back that up?
I guess it depends on how hard the evidence has to be. I've been using shellac-only necks for a while now, and I see no reason to stop.

But consider these comments:

You can easily find more of the same around the Internet.

But let's not mislead anyone: if you want to use your Tele as a bar serving tray, you'll soon conclude that some other finish is better suited to the task. Concentrated alcohol will do a job on shellac in pretty short order. On the other hand, if I can turn a garden hose full force on a hard shellac finish for a minute or two without leaving a mark, would that surprise you? That can be done.
