Reverb has published an article, "A Guide to Jazzmaster Knock-offs of the 1960s" that is a nice little history. Though it is a bit short and light. It misses some great guitars.

I had a chance to pick up a vintage Framus Strato de Luxe at an estate sale once, but I didn't wake up early enough in the morning. It sold for $800. Geez.
Also, they've left the Coral / Danelectro Hornet off of this list. That's ridiculous.
Look at that thing. Beautiful. And a big miss my the article.
The article specifically recognizes that there are entire online communities dedicated to obsessing over offset guitars, and specifically asks for help identifying any guitars they have missed. So, open invitation for dropping some knowledge.
