That would be a tricky one for sure.
Obviously you'd have to mask the fretboard but i can't really think of anything that would mask and be water-resistant at the same time.
There probably is some kinda' tape or something that would do it but it would be a risky one.
I think a better option would be to strip the back of the neck and headstock completely down to the bare wood,mask the entire neck off (far easier to do) and swirl the body and headstock separately and then once it's all dried i would leave the back of the neck stripped and give it a good tung-oiling or a coat of satin lacquer.
Agreed,it would look great with the back of the neck swirled too, but it would be so difficult to do and an oiled/satin cleared neck would be nicer to play.
