    My '99 MIM strat has a maple board which almost seems to have no finish on it (not from wear) - just a very flat, thin satin finish. The one thing I didn't like about my former CV strat with a maple board was the 'stickiness' of the high gloss finish front and back.

    Agreed. I can't stand a glossy finish on a neck. Apparently someone must like them because they make tons of them.
