I have a 1965 neck that bought about 15 years ago, but haven't used it on anything, yet. Can anyone tell me what Jaguar bodies form the various models that I can match this in to? For example will the Classic Player models, Reissues 62 or 65, thin skinned lacquer models, CIJ, etc. work with my neck? I would hate ti invest in a body that doesn't fit properly with my vintage neck.

Basically, the neck pocket dimensions should be the same. (*)
But (as in any 'normal' neck change) there may be some fitting issues.
Those are usually minor ones caused by tolerances, paint thickness/type & such and curable with a little abrasive paper, but sometimes bigger requiring major woodwork like plug&redrill, reshape, shims etc.

I don't think anybody can answer which individual body your individual vintage neck fits best. If you have any doubts, leave the job to a pro.

(*) The Modern Player series is one exception - can't say about the MP Jag, but other models have had surprises (a 22 fret neck without overhang, and a matching pocket...).
