Gee, other than a few pickguard hole locations I don't think Freddy Tavares and Leo's design has changed all that much.

Wonderful, I still need an accurate blueprint, or templates or plan.
BTW the peghead, bevels, roundover, truss rod access, fretboard thickness, dots and side dots and I forget a few things probably, all have changed and evolved through the years.

This is supposed to be a 1962 body plan based on Fender info but corrected for errors

Thanks much Jeff, exactly what I'm looking for. If you want to email me the '50s neck pdf that would be great!
