I generally wouldn't advise spraying over the existing finish though, adhesion probably wouldn't be good enough. Scuff sanding right up to the frets is tricky.
Although I suppose if it did start flaking you could always take it back to where it was by stripping off the cellulose and buffing it back to a shine?
Hi Steve, thanks for chipping in. I’m guessing a slow, careful removal of the existing lacquer with fine wire wool/sandpaper followed by a light spraying in stages should be ok?

A polyurethane finish on the neck is authentic for a 70s guitar.
Stripping is a horrible job but the best method is to use a scraper and Stanley blade between the frets.
