Autographed Guitars Should I Seal In Lacquer, Clear Acrylic, or Leave Them Alone

I just purchased 2 autographed guitars, a black and white version of Buddy Guy's signed squire guitars over the last month. I have a question for other collectors of autographed guitars. I want to display these permanently in a room without windows but am still concerned about long term effects from dusting. I want to seal the guitar in lacquer but am worried about the ink bleeding during the process. does anyone have any experience sealing autographs on guitars? also, for potential future collectors, would the overall value decrease in your eyes on account of the autograph being "sealed" in this way? Say I give one to my daughter. No expectations, if she decided to sell it in the future, so be it.. would it be better to seal it now, or leave it as is and let her decide later?

Im curious about the procedure from this video

There's no telling how the materials will look in ten or twenty years.  If you are concerned with holding value any solvent type spray will do damage.  Display is best in a plastic cube preferably one that protects from indoor lighting.

Thank you for the reply, your info helped me make a decision. I've decided to leave the guitar as is and attempt to build an led frame to house them
