  • An old Heritage and its original owner meet again...

    I picked up a 1991 Heritage Mark Slaughter at my local GC a couple months ago....I later found out that it was one of Marks personal guitars!

    I reached out to Mark and he was quite intrigued that this guitar had re-surfaced long after his ex-wife had sold it. I told him that I was going to be attending his concert in New Buffalo, MI on the 31st of January....Mark was kind enough to invite me backstage after the show so he could check out his old axe!

    Slaughter is touring in support of Great White and the show was last night. Both bands sounded great! I had never been to this venue before (casino venue) it was really nice...about 2400 capacity, sold out.

    After the show, my good friend Chris and I went back to meet Mark. Mark was very welcoming and hospitable. A super nice guy! He was pleasantly surprised when I handed his old guitar to him....he went on to tell everyone in the room the history of the guitar. Luckily, another patron in the room took video of the entire thing!

    I asked him to sign the back of the headstock....and he did so with pleasure. He hung out for quite a while, chatting and signing autographs for everyone. It was a great night!

    When Mark was getting ready to take off I pulled him aside and told him if he would like to have his old Heritage back that I would more than happy to let him have it. He said, "Brent, I have so many f****ing guitars....you keep it and enjoy it."

          I have to confess that the main reason I opened your thread was to see the girl in your sig vid again.

              That is awesome! Well actually, they are both awesome, but you know what I mean.

                  That's an awesome story, and a great video. Mark Slaughter is a super nice guy. The band I used to be in opened up for Slaughter a couple of times about 25 years ago. I also used to see him around Nashville quite a bit, and he was always really nice. A lot of people don't realize that he is an absolutely smoking guitar player.

                      Dam it Brent!

                      I can't resist. I keep coming back to this thread over and over again just to look at that vid clip. No not the guitar and its owner. Your sig.

                        Wow! This is so cool on so many levels... First, I didnt realize Heritage made some of these models, or sig models. Second, The guitar itself . Third, how did you find out it was actually Mark's guitar? Fourth, How did you contact him?? Fifth, and absolutely most importantly, He seemed SO FRIGGIN down to earth and so cool the way he made this happen and spent time with you like that.. And last, Brent, Ive always known you to be a class act, and you prolly would have handed it over to him, where as alot of people woulda been trying to milk money outta him for it.

                        Anyone played those Carlinos? Ive seen em online, but no hands on.

                        Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
