Vintage Jag

I'm looking to buy a vintage Jag. I have 2 examples that I'm looking at at the moment. One is a 63, the other is a 65. Both are in great condition.
Question is: is there any general difference between Jaguars from those two periods (I know about clay/pearl dots and burst type, but other than that)? I especially interested in the pickups. Some say that Jag and JM pickups get hotter after 1965 - is this true?
63 is from Rumbleseat, 65 from Nationwide Guitars.
Thanks in advance

Don't know but they sure are purdy.
The case for the '63 at Rumbleseat is rarer than the guitar!
The '65 at Nationwide Guitars is on hold.What was the price?

you have enough coin to drop on either of those and you don't know the difference?

The 65 was only a little less than the 63

does having $3k to spend mean you suddenly wake up one morning knowing all there is to know about early-mid '60s jaguar pickups? it seems quite prudent of him to ask.
i imagine there are guys on offset who could answer this quick as a flash, but i've got no idea.

holy shit, when did vintage jags get so cheap? these used to go for 7K-15K
the vintage guitar market is in the toilet man.

the only jags i've seen for 15k are the ones that nobody ever buys on ebay.
