The Autumnglo finish from the 70's and early 80's was matte as well.

Black matte is now a standard finish, I believe.

I love the feel of the matte finish neck.
Compliments to Rickenbacker for the special runs they’re putting out.

Satin necks have always felt better to me. I've had a few Ricks with them - 380L's, 650S's, and they are as smooth as you'd expect. It's just that I've gotten used to gloss necks over time so the chunkiness of those models isn't a price worth paying for me.
