nope
the guitar guru at my local shop told me yesterday that satin finishes on acoustic guitars don't seal the wood properly and will cause the instrument to deteriorate over time.
is this true???
i've fallen in love w/ a martin 12-string and it has a satin finish. if this significantly reduces the life expectancy or performance over time, it's a serious consideration.
it kinda sounded like bs to me, but the guy really seems to know his stuff.
edit: i'm not 100% sure if the finish on this particular guitar is satin or matte, nor am i sure if it makes a difference either way. just figured i might be more clear on the matter.
