What’s the difference between a Jaguar and a Jazzmaster?

Note the actually outside diameter (OD) varies slightly even though it’s the same gauge. As the gauge number increases, the OD of the wire decreases (42 gauge wire is thicker than 43 gauge wire). Potting: dipping a pickup in wax to seal the windings to minimize vibration so the pickup feedbacks less (and is not “microphonic”).
When did the chamfering on Fender pickups stop?
