Re: 4003S/5
Tom, the one in the listing you link is from 2019. They've recently returned to adding the shedua (or is it walnut?) strip down the middle of the neck-through assembly. We'll have to look around for more recent examples to determine if it is a feature on the five-banger.

Re: 4003S/5
I just checked Wildwood's website where they show photos of their inventory. They have new 2022 4003 with the stripe, and new 2022 4003S/5 WITHOUT the stripe. So, at least for now, it appears there is no shedua/walnut stripe on the five-string.

Maybe in the next run of them?
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS!
