Yeah, I guess so, special order... but every jaguar in 66 seemed to have it.

So I dunno.

My 67 had the 'SPECIAL' stamp. It's not uncommon

Why modern sunburst guitars don't look so nice like the vintage ones?

The dyes fade over time, especially the red. Look at where the red layer originally extended to (under the vibrato plate, where light couldn't reach it).

It would have looked completely different when new.
