JRH, the satin neck is shot in gloss like the rest of the body then sanded down to satin later, if requested. At least that was the case before they started recently offering a satin finish for entire guitars. When I inquired during the build of my custom 2017 X20-12 toward the end of the build, I asked about satin neck and this is what I was told. There was no extra charge then but I opted to leave it glossy like my other Emerald's. I can always sand it myself later if really desired.
