Maybe they are going back to using wood pickguards?

Since they seem to be cutting costs, going back to a more labor intensive wood pickguard wouldn’t make much sense.

I refused shipment on the guitars. I do happen to know that they had the same headstock as in the listings that you see for them online.

So which headstock do you think it had?    Heritage has different size headstocks for different guitars.   My new 530 is wider at the top than my old 535 by 1/2".    Its easy to see the difference by looking at the string pull and the space on the sides of the logo.

The archtops always have had wider headstocks than the solid bodies.

I wasn’t able to measure them or compare. But, here’s a photo of what they would have looked like:

That's the wider headstock.   This is the older headstock.

I don’t understand? That’s just a link to a cartoon character humming and singing a racist minstrel song. Can you just stop beating around the bush and explain in words what was meant in the earlier post?

Wait a week.  I NEED a Heritage bespoke banjo!  Do Dah…

Like in my statement that you quoted, they are coming tomorrow. I do not have a week. And what does "Do Dah…" mean?

Was Gregg (Steiner) not I that started the "Do Dah" - so all I could relate to was cartoons from the 1950's  - sorry just having fun with the flow.
