Pretty rare. They only made a handfull of them due to "break down in negotiations"

Where did you find that screenshot of the JD5? I was looking for it a while back and just assumed G&L had permenatly removed it.

Hmm, here's a screenshot of the old spec webpage for the ASAT JD-5.
I have the guitar shown in the picture and it does have a Satin finished neck.
We also have 7 registered in the G&L Registry and a couple say they have a gloss neck and none mention a bare neck finish.
Hey, Mac (Burnt999), if you are out there reading this, do any of your JD-5's have the bare neck finish?
I do remember that the 1984-1991 Rampage model had an oiled neck. According to Gabe (GPD):
"The back of the neck was hand oiled using Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil and the headstock face was shot with a color coat and clear."
