Like many other guitar makers, Heritage threw their hat into the shredder guitar market in the 80s. Heritage wasn't as successful as most, at least they tried....lol This was Heritage's cream de la cream of their shredder line....the STAT DELUXE. There was a Standard STAT that was a flat top and different electronics configuration and a different headstock style (more like a strat) I bought this guitar as a husk...well it had the tuners and nut on it. LOL It has a bookmatched, carved flame maple top. Honduran mahogany body and neck (set neck), with an Indian rosewood fretboard. I decided to put stock Schaller pickups back in it, just from a historical standpoint....but they really do sound great!!! It came stock with the Kahler "Spyder" trem. Kahlers best trem system, IMO. The neck is a medium C, with lots of dings n bumps on the back.....the guitar, as a whole, is in great shape for it age....its been played. Surprisingly enough, there are no headstock breaks, or tips broken off and repaired. All in all a very fun guitar...and quite rare.

Lol

Lmao

Mark invited me to come backstage at an upcoming show to meet him and check out the guitar!!! Should be a good time!

Yeah. He plays/played Cadillac style guitars.

YOU HAD THE TERMINATOR REFINISHED?

I'M WITH WILL ON THIS ONE.....THAT SELLER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE HAD. HE WAS AFRAID IF HE DISCLOSED THE WORMING, IT WOULD NEVER SELL....SO HE DIDNT....NOW HE HAS TO PAY THE PIPER!!!

1991. I believe Mark designed it with Heritage. Mark messaged me yesterday. He said his ex wife sold some of his guitars back in the day.

So I was walking in to the Kalamazoo GC last week. My first stop is always the high end used wall. I looked up and I couldn't believe my eyes!!! It was a silver hologram sparkle Heritage Mark Slaughter "ROCK" model!!!! My first thought was..."it has to be a refin!" I had them pull it down and I looked inside the control cavity...nope....not a refin!!! The Heritage label simply said....MARK SLAUGHTER, and the serial # I put it back on the wall and went home. I got on my laptop and started searching for pics of Mark and his guitars and found these.....

(unfortunately its on police hold until December 14th) I reached out to Mark recently, asking him if in fact this was his guitar. He replied back to me yesterday. He said it was his personal guitar. We haven't gotten into and details yet on the whole history of the guitar....he is currently on tour, so he is probably busy. I have ordered some new parts for it to bring it back to factory original....black tuners, black bridge/tailpiece. The pickups and electronics appear to be original. I even ordered a custom replica of the original Mark Slaughter truss rod cover that came on it from the factory .

I thought about buying that 127. Good snag bro.

That’s ugly in so many ways... but unique

THANKS FOR THE INVITE MIKE!!! I THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT
