My early 2010 Jazz 5 Am Deluxe nut gave way on B string side because if you look at the nut its recessed INSIDE the binding with fragile "ears" extending over the binding. A respected Luthier has made me a bone nut and I pickup the bass tomorrow. 3 years old now and I didnt want to bother with looking into warranty cause a new Fender one will break again. The solution really is to have a Luthier cut the nut for fingerboard full width and trim the binding accordingly. The old nut had little slots barely holding B string its the "B retainer" that helped there. I gig and will die with bass. Not terribly concerned with "Museum quality" originality. Look out for it 5 string Fender jazz American Deluxe owners.
