The unidirectional top layer (if you look carefully in the right light, it must have a thin layer of that classic RS 3x3 twill underneath -- likely necessary to get some side to side strength) looks more like a natural material in gloss and the satin tones down the look of 3x3 twill back/sides while feeling exactly right on the neck. Lately I've been finding uncoated phosphor bronze sounds best to me on them.

Speaking of the top layer, mine has what looks like ripples and bubbles under the gloss finish. They are not raised or anything, does your top look like this?
