What is a 4003 Shadow? Is that the same as 4003S?

No the Shadow has binding where and S will not. The binding on a Shadow will be checkerboard and black. The Shadow has dot markers as does the "S", however the Shadow has black markers and the "S" will have pearl. Basically a Shadow is a standard jetglo 4003 with BT, check binding and a dotted/bound fretboard. Rumour is there were somewhere around 50 Shadows produced in '86 for a Guitar Center anniversary

A standard early 4003, after 85 they had one piece pickguards.

Nice pictures you´ve got there. Whats the difference between a standard 4003 model and these ones exept for the black dot inlays? (Sorry my english:-)

Checkered binding and vintage knobs on the Shadow
