Yeah from my research SOME of the early JS series, and then only SOME of the those ones, which featured close (Charvel Style) 12th fret dot inlays, had a 2 and 3/16" neck heel. Its something to do with Indian production around a certain time frame (Circa 2000 as I said I think).
If you look up a bog standard JS, it will have wide spaced 12th fret inlays, I know for sure that all of those ones are 3 and a quarter Jackson standard.
I think the 3/16" thing was just a temporary Jackson quirk for some reason. They are really supposed to be entry level guitars anyhow. Maybe it was a deliberate decision, maybe India didn't have the 2 and a quarter templates at that time, or maybe it slipped past upper management. It will remain an enigma!
