Richard, a regular 4003 can become an S. It would require a new fingerboard, and the body to be sanded in that shape. Dane Wilder had this done for his 4008 project - according to him, the binding was replaced with a strip of maple, and then sanded down, or something to that effect.

"I'm appeasing myself by ordering a new 4003FL when my friend takes my Spector off my hands... but what I really want is a fretless S (or V63) JUST like that one!"

Or like this one, Bob?

They're really hard to come by.
