Get it out into the sun on a nice day and have a look. You are likely going to be pleasantly surprised. Looks like a nice quilt.

Yep. That kind.
If you want to take 'some' of the sheen off, use a really old one. The newer they are the more they'll do the job. A new one is like fine grit sandpaper and will really take the shine off a finish in a big hurry. They can be a lot harsher than you think so use light, even strokes all over the neck. Do use masking tape to protect the painted surfaces. Stick the masking tape to your pant leg once or twice to take some of the stick off first. I'd also suggest masking tape around the back of the neck level with the nut, so you get something resembling a clean transition line between sanded and non-sanded. On a de-shined lacquered neck, some of the shine may naturally come back with wear over time but it's a fast and easy job to re-do.
