I don't know about your pickup mount conclusions, Michael, when you say
body-mounted pickups give a thicker "woodier" sound (whatever that is). Magnetic
pick-ups capture the sound of moving steel strings not the vibrations of the
pickup mounts. I think that any signifcant difference you are hearing between
guitars with body mounted pickups vs pickguard mounted is the different pickups.
For instance, super strats may have a humbucker at the bridge position or hotter
single coil pickups.

...Both the Jaguar and the Jazzmaster have body mounted pickups,
a trait shared with pickguardless "superstrats". This gives the guitar a
thicker
woodier sound. The Strats pickups are pickguard mounted.
Aside from giving the Strat part of it's sound characteristcs,
it makes it much easer to work on since most of the wiring and
electronics are
attached to the pickguard.
Loosen the strings, remove 11 screws and desolder 3 wires,
and the whole pickguard and everything attached to it comes off.
It's practically modular. Very easy to see whats going on in the wiring
and modify it.
It's the most hot roddable guitar design there is!
