Well, the body thickness is 1.75 or (1 3/4"), but beyond that, you're talking about subjectivity.
The intonation points are going to be relative to what Warmoth has posted on their site with regard to the neck compatibility and such.
Here's that link: http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Necks/faq2.aspx
What other dimensions are you looking for, ie; depth of cavity route?
Other than that, it is of note that the Warmoth Jazzmaster Body only fits a Warmoth Jazzmaster Pickguard, as seen on this page:

Thanks, TonyFlyingSquirrel. I'm also interested in total length, and body length and width. Why? I've got one in the works and will want to get a case for it. I've done some research, found several brands, but would like to be able to check their interior dimensions against those of the guitar. This is more of an "out of curiosity" type question than an urgent issue.
On another note, not finding an example on-line, I've actually fiddled with making an overlay with Photoshop, showing a Fender JM body and a Warmoth JM body, to see how and where they differ. I'm curious why W decided to rout the pup cavities differently and add the wiring rout between them, rather than just use Fender's routs.

Most of the standard equivalent cases apply with regard to Warmoth compatibility, the only exception with any great degree of significance would be the Warmoth guitar bodies mated up to a Baritone neck.
With the Baritones, opt for a bass case.
I did so with my Bari-Tele, by grabbing one of these from GFS: http://www.guitarfetish.com/PREMIUM-Cloth-Tweed-PJ-Bass-Hardshell-Case-SUPER-Quality-Our-Best-_p_19249.html
and I just added some padding (small pillow) between the body and the center compartment to keep the guitar from sliding to the affect of the headstock slamming up against the end. It's worked like a charm for me for about 4 years now. I've never had any issues with it, despite many load-ins/load-outs.
They have a Jazzmaster case too: http://www.guitarfetish.com/PREMIUM-Cloth-Tweed-Hardshell-JazzmasterOffset-Case-PLUSH-Interior-OUR-BEST-_p_19230.html

Thanks Cagey for the dimensions, and both you and TonyFlyingSquirrel for the case suggestions. The SKB is on my short list, though I was unaware of the Guitar Fetish case and am partial to that look, gotta say. The case would be used to store the guitar at home and to take it to the occasional jam. My steady gigging days are, alas, in the past and unlikely to return.
