    "Made In USA" decal placement

    I just purchased a 2003 American Tele. (Z3nnnnn) I've noticed that the "Made in USA" reference is stamped on the back of the headstock rather than the front as I am used to seeing on many others. Can anyone tell me if this is "normal"? Was there a "Z" series made where Fender put this stamp on the back?? Or - does Fender put them where they want to when they want to?? There doesn't seem to be any consistency. I've seen '02's, '03's and '04's . . "most" of which have the serial and or the MIUSA on the front of the headstock. There's currently a '99 out on eBay that has its serial and MIUSA on the back - but - in a different location than mine! Seems kind of odd to me. I just bought this one this week and I wanted to make sure I didn't get stuck with something that has been messed with or altered.

    I stand corrected, mine is in the back also.. Just like the above photos..

    Nope, I was right to start with.. Made in USA is on the front, but he serial number is on the back..
