2003 Nomade, Year One?

I purchased this Dupont Nomade a while back, and am thoroughly satisfied. I know this is an early Nomade--square label, no decal on the headstock, because I have seen a few other 2003's. I am curious whether this was the first year of production of this model.

Thanks!

    You should post some pictures and perhaps a video that showcases the sound.

    Here's a few photos; thanks for asking Jose. I'll try to get audio asap.

    But, what about my question?

    I read that very early on they didn't have zero fret so it must be an early one.

    I've been researching images online, and this is what I found:

    1) Only 2003 has the blank headstock.

    2) The old square label was in used in 2003, 2004, then changed to the current one.

    3) The zero fret was actually introduced in 2014, so much later.

    It's looking more and more like 2003 was the first y.o.p., but I'd still like confirmation of that.

    If 2003 was the first year of production, it looks like yours was made in February. Must be one of the very firsts of that year!

    Cool; thanks Billy. I picked it up for 900, and really love the guitar.
