Looking to maybe replace my Sadowsky 5 because the neck is a little too wide.
Looking at the:
American Professional Jazz V (1 or 2)
Elite 5 from 2019
Ultra 5 from 2023.

I don't care about the preamp or the pickups, those are easily replaced. What I want is a slimmer neck and a rock solid B string.

Any opinions?

Thanks
 
I think all Fender five strings from the last ten years, and probably longer, have 1.875" nut widths which is likely the same as your Sadowsky. There is the Will Lee Sadowsky, which has a 1.75" nut width, and I think the Chinese Sadowsky MetroExpress models have that nut width as well.
