Ed,
Now I guess I didn't miss read your original post.
The Jaguar has lower tension, and for a few reason. I've got 12s on
my Jaguar, and they feel like 11s on a Jazzmaster. Because the
shorter scale there is less tension on the Jaguar. The Stratocaster
and Jazzmaster are the same scale length, but the reason your
feeling less tension on the Jazzmaster is because of the string
break angle over the bridge as compared to the strings going onto
the Stratocaster bridge.
As for your Strats having more of a spongy feel when compared to the
others, I'm not sure about that.
