As a player, I prefer a matte finish. I practice about 3 hours a day, gig on weekends, tablaos etc. For me, when playing a lot, sometimes your hand will sweat. Humidity is also a factor, especially when playing in dance studios with no ventilation and a bunch of dancers. So a shiny gloss finish is a no go for the left hand, it starts to stick to the neck when doing fast chord changes or runs. This issue does not happen anymore with my Devoe negra matte finish on the neck. The matte finish will get shiny though, wherever skin contacts the guitar, but it doesn’t feel like a glossy finish. The next guitar I order I will have the whole guitar done in a matte finish, just feels more organic. My two cents guys.
