In my experience, the necks were generally thinner (as in wide but thinner in depth) in '61 & '62 and chunkier in '63 & '64. IMHO, the slant vs. lightning bar tailpiece is a non issue as it doesn't seem have any noticeable effect on tone. I will concede that I like the look of the slant better, but own a '63 because it has a great neck.
Word. That's exactly the same for me too, but I have two '64's fitted with Pigtails. I had a great '61, now owned by a mate of mine and although a wonderful guitar it has the flatter neck profile. I like the look of the slant also, but prefer the later neck shape.
