I currently have an arctic dream majesty and am wanting to pick up another model cause I love it so much haha. I'm stuck between a purple monarchy majesty or hunting down a fuschia sparkle... My question: is the fuschia the same finish as the monarchy models, as in glossy on the front and matte on the back, or is it gloss front and back? I'm not overly fond of glossed necks so this would be a deciding factor.

Thanks!

It's gloss both front and back. I was worried about this being an issue too, but it doesn't get sticky at all!! And this comes from a guy who's got REALLY sweaty hands. I was really used to playing either gunstock oil + wax maple necks or matte finished necks (owned Polar Noir and Starry Night Majesties before the Fuchsia) because I'd had bad experiences with gloss necks from other manufacturers. I don't know what's different about this one, but it plays great!!

Thank you very much for the response! That's good to know actually... after getting used to the neck on the arctic dream majesty I didn't think I'd ever like any other finish as much but I might just take the plunge :) the sparkle is real nice!
