    I've also noticed that the store currently doesn't have any standard shaped (looking that the IB models in particular) 4 stringers with humbuckers.
    Yeah, IB5 is the closest match yet YB4 could be hacked up to look similar. Downside is Basswood on YB4 compared to Ash on IB5.

    Yeah, that is true. However if the F-series shape isn't possible a 4 string IB would definitely be something I'd pay for.

    Custom order as the only modification required is a narrower neck & neck pocket. Pickups might look a bit large as they are aimed at 5 string setup, otherwise doable.
