I like both Satin and gloss guitars and own both. I slightly prefer Satin over gloss finished so Satin is definitely not a deal breaker. Interestingly, my Yamaha FS5 has a Semi-gloss finished. It is smooth to the touch but doesn’t leave ugly smudges to be cleaned after playing. If I had to vote, a Semi-gloss would be my favourite guitar top surface. Btw, the Taylor K24CE Builder’s Edition and some other models use Semi-glossed finish too.
