On the subject of the left over 4002 body wings, I know of a one-off 4003 that was made with these in 2009. It's in the Register here:

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Just watched! That was fun and now I want one! :lol:

Was fortunate to play Jeff Thomas' 4002 way back during "RIO" and it had a wonderful neck profile.
