I don't think that's the case (pardon the pun) any more. My AV65 Jaguar from 2013 and my AV64 Tele from 2012 both have the vintage-correct cases with the thinner tops. But I bought an AV65 case off ebay (Stratosphere parts), parted out from an NOS AV65 Jazzmaster, a few months back, and much to my shock it is no longer thinner! It's the same thickness as the old AVRI62 cases! Maybe someone else can shed more light on this, but it seems they stopped making the thinner cases sometime between 2013 and late 2015. Here's a picture showing what I mean (my 2013 AV65 case is on the right, the 2015 AV65 case is on the left):Despot wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 4:39 am
They even took the case back to how it should be - a thinner case with the same colour and style of lining as the originals (again ... I've had a few of those cases over the years and putting an AV65 case next to vintage showed how Fender had really tried to get these right).
All other aspects (interior, latches, logo placement, etc) are identical between the two cases.
