The headstock of my Mustang (neck 9APR66A) does not have the 'Offset Contour Body' decal that I've seen on most other Mustangs, both older and newer.

There's no damage to the varnish so it can't have come off since it was made.

Should a neck from that year have this decal?

does it have contours? if the guitar is a 66, it shouldn't.

mustang contours didn't start until late 68 - 69 IIRC.

No, the body is a slab.

Last night there was a Mustang sold on eBay.co.uk where the neck was stamped as a '66 but it had the headstock decal (Item number: 180363941999). That body was not contoured either.

Was there some kind of transitional phase?

you know fender. they probably put those decals on everything. just because the neck's a 66, don't mean the body is.
