Hi there,
First off, yes, I know your pain
1. I sold a satin-finished guit some time ago not solely because of the fin, but yes that noisy quality was modestly irritating. I have since sworn off any satin finish altogether because of that guitar.
2. Yes, I recently tried a Taylor Builder's Reserve with the "silent satin": definitely better than satin, and seemed quiet to me. While completely aware it was a satin fin (which I had just said I would
never choose to own again) I played this guitar to test drive it for its other attributes. So yes, I was fully listening for the noise, and didn't seem to hear any, but I was in a guitar showroom, not a quiet room, so there's the small disclaimer.
