Not the best pics, especially since it looks like a "burst". But it's all one solid color. I've had so much trouble this morning, getting pics to download! If I get some better shots, I'll post 'em for sure.
I finally got the neck straightened out, and think I'm going to hold off on the neck shim. I played a new Ibnez SR505 at GC over the weekend, and except for the neck shape, this Ergodyne 605 plays just as well. The SR505 has an assymetrical neck I think, so it has a different feel. But playability wise, this one seems to be fine now.
