Will the new 5 strings have the skunk stripe?

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.

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.

Who knows, other than maybe Ben Hall?
