They do, apparently. There's one here .. I think there was another thread about them as well but I can't find it right now.

Re: Original sparkle finish offsets?
This (1962) Jaguar's purple sparkle finish is supposedly factory-original :
Although the colours look completely different in these pics, it appears to be the same Jaguar - the (finish) damage on the guitar's bass side is located on the same spot, plus the pickguard's pattern appears to be the same as well.

I would love to own this guitar's Jazzmaster-counterpart, preferably with a matching headstock...Maggieo wrote: Mother of God, I want that purple Jag!!!
This 1961 Jazzmaster is featured on rocknrollvintage.com's website, and its silver sparkle finish is apparently also factory-original...

Grant From Feeder has a Silver Sparkle JM that he supposedly hasn't refinned, and he bought in the 90's. Maybe an original, maybe not

Re: Original sparkle finish offsets?
Hmm thought the rule was if it's custom colour and it has a tortoishell scratch then it probably aint original?

Re: Original sparkle finish offsets?
That is most certainly not the case, eggwheat - there were plenty of factory-original offsets made with a.o. Blonde, Olympic White, Burgundy Mist Metallic, Candy Apple Red etc. finishes with tortoiseshell pickguards.eggwheat wrote: Hmm thought the rule was if it's custom colour and it has a tortoishell scratch then it probably aint original?
