Difference in body shape of pre-cbs Jag vs Jazzy

[Guitarman555]

Hi, is there any difference in body shape or thickness in pre-cbs period? Thanks

The Jag body is cut away a little more on the upper horn, which makes it pointier (red outline here).

CBS didn't change the shape

Is the question not two-fold?

1) Did Jaguars change shape or body thickness post CBS?
2) Did Jazzmasters change shape or body thickness post CBS?

I assumed the OP knew the shapes of the two guitars were slightly different?

I would most certainly confirm that the mid-70s ones are thicker than the mid-60s ones. That is what I can say. Dunno about when and how much. I posted about it years ago, I believe the '78 JM was about 2-3mm thicker than my '64.

A lot of that extra will be the poly finish though i'd imagine?
