1994 Heritage H-535 ASB [7.7 lbs] :: new bone nut

A beautify 335-style offering from Heritage in for a setup.  One concern was the truss rod threads were extended well past the adjustment nut.  The truss rod nut was previously tightened so much that it had compressed and lifted the area around the access cavity.  So I started off with stabilizing this area with glue and flattening the nut slot.

The original nut was now sitting too low due to the nut slot repair so a new bone nut was made.  This would also help with the tuning issues the player was having with the old nut.

The player bought this guitar used so he was interested in checking out the pickups.  I'm not a Heritage expert, but I believe these are the originals (though I'm not sure on the signature).
