Thats its correct term. The Jaguars from the US that are available now are AmaericanVintageReIssue (AVRI) as are the Jazzmasters. The first run are AV. The Mustang has never been reissued from America.

actually i did measure the necks also, and i can confirm that the jag-stang is thinner. i will try to find those pics later next week.

Sry

(I was going to edit that post)
Even though they look the same, I found the 96' a little thinner than the 02'. The 96 feels Mosrite like thin IMO. Very comfy to play, even more so than the already comfy 02'
I just think there are a few inconsistencies. Paint being another one. I think there is a slight difference in shades on the Sonic Blue Jagstang.

It's not the correct term. The correct term would be simply "Vintage" or "1965". AV has never and will never be a term for the initial 60s and 70s guitars Fender produced.

jag-stang necks are not the same as jaguar necks nor mustang necks
i thought they were but i measured the hell out of my 96 jaguar neck and my 96 jag-stang neck and found that they were slightly different but enough to take notes of.
and when i bought tracy her comp blue mustang a few years ago i remember doing a profile of the back and it was slightly "rounder" than my j.s.
i thought that they would all be exactly the same but there is enough of one to say that they are not the same.

Have you got the Muff yet dude or are you not at home? It went out First Class yesterday, like.

im just trying to point out that the fretboards are OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT. look at how the 65 bows out at the end and the compstang curves in.

your hand wraps around the fretboard too, its part of the neck. therefor if the fretboards are different, the feel of the neck is going to be different too

Yeah, i'd just got home, just about to open it then i saw your annoying post. So...

Looks great dude! Its size is awesome! Better than i had hoped, really board-friendly and colour is ace.
I was desperate for this, mine packed in last week so i will be using it at rehearsal tomorrow night and i will give it a blast tonight as well.

Wicked. Glad it got there OK, you'll have to let me know how it goes at practise and stuff, I'm sure you'll like the sounds, it sounds huge to me.

Don't forget to bring the Black one to Doogfest, I should be able to fix it. For free of course.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but wouldn't it be easy to settle some of the questions in this thread with a set of calipers?

Call me "Old School", but when in doubt: measure!

this is from a few months ago.
i compared a 96 j.s. neck and a 96 jaguar neck.
so in theory they should be exactly the same right?
same factory, same year, similer marks on the neck, i don't remember the serial number on the jag but they were the same damn thing.
except....

the profile is different.

No. We've known for a while now that Jaguar necks are different. Our interest is in MUSTANG necks.

oh
damn,
well, i would bet just about anything that they are.
i know i measured out tracy's compstang neck years ago but that info is long gone and so is the guitar.
