I was new to buying telecasters and was wondering if it was ordinary for the serial number to change fonts on the headstock. For example, the font is one style but then the rest of the numbers are a little higher up and more bolded. I checked the serial number in the fender registry and it all checks out, but I want to be sure before I buy it. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures since I saw it in person and forgot to take any. Any help would be appreciated :D

Different fonts are not rare. In most cases the letter and the year digit are in one stamp type, the individual serial number digits in the other.

If you checked the registration database and all checks out, I tend to believe the guitar is OK. But the usual caution remark: serial numbers alone are not a guarantee for a legit guitar.

And you can post pics later. :wink:
