brentrocks Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The Heritage Slaughter "ROCK" arrived today....had to meet my parents for dinner so i havent had a chance to crank it yet. I like the balance, like the neck, like the headstock, like the color, like the shape....it has a Schaller humbucker, so it should sound pretty darn good. All i got to do was put some 10s on it, polish it up, lemon oil the fretboard and strum it a lil. I will have some pics tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have some pics tomorrow those are schaller high output pups... the neck and mid are the same as the stat dlx. but the hum is far different than any schaller you have played .. and my end of the deal, she is awesome...

yoslate Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Congrats, Lance! I've been out of the loop, and I didn't realize you guys were horse trading. I'm glad to see that Katie's guitar stayed in the family...seems only right! That piece also helps confirm your status as King of the One-offs!

fxdx99 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I know I know - I keep saying/posting this, but that guitar is simply STUNNING. Great pics, really shows off the exquisite top and contrast of the light back. Your clips playing it shows it sounds awesome as well (still nightmares of that giant hand, but oh well...). Congratulations - that's one guitar that I still angst over as I'd just love to have that in the stable. I've burst envy fer shure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Looking Forward to the Pics, Brent !! The Slaughter seems like one made for you.... And nice pics of the BahamaBurst, Lance....! REALLY shows off that colorful top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurph1 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 If someone were to tell me about a burst with those colors..Just describe it to me, i would probably think UGLY!!!..But man that is a fine looking guitar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Katie's guitar plays real nice..I'm at this point going to keep it as is with the schaller pus. Oh shit, gotta run here comes the giant finger.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I was pleasently surprised to find out that it does have the vari-phaze system on it! the back pot is a push/pull for the humbucker. pulled up splits it and as you roll it on, it puts it out of phase!!! it rocks pretty good!!!!

FredZepp Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Excellent , You captured the mahogany perfectly. BigBob told us this had some sweet wood to it... I'd expect that one to rock as good as any. I can picture Sammy Hagar playing it... ( I was goin' to say EVH, but his would be one PU and no vari-phase) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegleg32 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 ahhh!! Be very careful Brent!! LOL. I can't decide which one of you came out ahead on that horse trade, so I guess it must be about even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Flying Bird Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 This is a new one for me. What a wild looking Heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCA Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Wow! Thank you for the nice photos. It's a looker. I really like the tension between the modern cut and the natural finish. The belly cut on that thing is phenomenal. Now that I've started to wade into the guitar building side of things, the belly cut on that thing really jumps out at me as a fine piece of craftsmanship. If they put that much effort into the belly cut, the rest of the guitar must be phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they put that much effort into the belly cut, the rest of the guitar must be phenomenal. I love the body style! the access to the upper register is really smooth, like the H 357. It is a 2-piece body. love the stinger and the headstock shape! it is amazing how a 19 yr old guitar can still be in such good shape, eventhough it was technically, "NOS", it was in a big city in Europe....thats a long time!!!! The frets are perfect....the action is great too. I love the sticker on the back of the headstock, its from the store in Amsterdam, where it was originally delivered to by Heritage. The only thing i wish is that i had the original Heritage rectangular case....i cant believe they shipped it over seas with out a case. I shipped 1 guitar to Europe with out a case and i pretty much had an anxiety attack!!! The tone is very simmilar to the H 357, both sold mahogany...the slaughter is maybe a lil brighter on the bridge pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following your purchase for weeks and months and I'm delighted to see that you're elated. It's great to see an HOC'er overwhelmed by a purchase I couldn't be more happy for you....but when do we get to hear it? Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yngwie308 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Brent, you know the body resembles the Dean Cadillac in a few ways, though I think the Slaughter pre-dates the Dean.. I remember my first Heritage catalog, the one the year the Gary Moore model was introduced, I thought..wow, these guys aren't afraid of some weird shaped guitars, kind of like a certain Ted McCarty who came before them!! yngwie308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
