yeah that looks pretty similar to me!

Hello, I bought an MIM Fender Jazz recently, and it's great apart from the finish of the neck between frets 5-8. The skunk stripe felt as if it was very slightly protruding from the neck itself and I could feel it whilst playing. I took some 0000 steel wool to it when has made it nicer feeling, but now there's a bare patch in the maple and rosewood and after a while tends to feel sticky I imagine it's the bare maple picking up more grime? You can just about see it as a darker patch in the photograph. What should I do? I want to return it as close to stock finish as possible. Should I use some grainfiller, then oil and sand with 0000 again? How do Fender finish their necks? Thank you!
