Here's a shot of my Elite in Indigo:

My brother had a bass with one of those exotic tropical wood tops (cocobolo, maybe?) and an oiled finish that really irritated him. I'm talking allergic reaction, contact-dermatitis irritation. In this case, it was the wood that irritated him, but a full coverage lacquer finish would've prevented it. Personally, the idea of an artificially relic'ed finish really annoys me. The whole concept seems dishonest. Every scratch, dent, ding and worn spot should be EARNED.

Weren't KMD amps a Kaman product? -Brandon

I'm no expert, but the cutaway looks like a Monaco to me. Newports don't have binding running up the side of the neck like that. I can't tell if the Monaco "shelf" is there, but I'm willing to bet it is. -Brandon
