330 cutaway bouts

I've seen several pics on the net, and it seems that the more recent 330 have much sharper ends on the cutaways.

When did they change? Personally I would say around the year 2000, but I am certainly no expert on this matter.

All rickenbacker bodies changed when Rickenbacker went to CnC machines.
The 381 changed in 1998. I can only assume that the 330 followed around that time
as well.
