I received my P-bass routed Jazz bass pickguard from Warmoth the other day...
I never knew this before because it isn't documented anywhere, but the bottom part of the pickguard is shaped a bit differently, because the P-bass pickup would otherwise extend outside the pickguard on a regular Jazz shape. Also, two screws are in different locations.
I honestly don't care about it, and I doubt that anyone else cares much either, but i think this undocumented change is worth at least noting.
Wyliee said that adding a disclaimer with pics with probably make things confusing for people though.
Anyways, when you go to the pickguard page, you see a graphic of the pickguard shape, and as you click on the material thumbnails, the graphic changes to show that material...
My suggestion is that there should be a different preview graphic for Jazz, Precision, and no pickup routings.
For anyone who is interested, here is a tracing that i did which shows the shape change, as well as the change in location of two screws.
Red is the P-routed pickguard, blue is the regular Jazz pickguard, and green is the area they share in common.
