Is the black hardware on the Tumescent Luke an anodized (shiny) black or is it a satin black coated like on the newer majesties and other 2018 models? It's really hard to tell from pictures. Pretty sure the knobs and controls are not satin but what about the rest?

It's somewhat of a combination. The tremolo is matte/satin black, the saddles are a semi-gloss. The pickups are matte/satin black, and the control knobs are glossy.
