brentrocks Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 A quote from "THE TERMINATOR" This is the Heritage guitar of the same name....a little Heritage History! From 1985...Heritage's effort to get into the "Hair Metal" scene. They made the Terminator and the Exterminator....both guitars designed by Marv Lamb and Jim Derlou. These guitars did not stay in production very long...very few were made. Maybe 15-20 of each? This one is the Terminator... Mahogany body Mahogany neck Rosewood fretboard....this one, looks like Brazilian? 2 humbuckers, master vol, master tone, 3 way toggle 24.75 scale Kahler 3200 tem system, factory installed I picked this one up from Carters Vintage, in Nashville. I was very surprised to see the factory case. Its been played a lot...modded with active EMGs. The frets have been dressed down to almost fretless wonder status. (i may have it re fretted) Surprisingly, the EMGs dont sound terrible...I kinda like em. The fretboard on this guitar is incredible!!!! It plays really good for a low/flat fret setup...it think it would play much better with some medium jumbos!!!
davesultra Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Cool, obscure find Brent. But what I really wanna’ know is... “Are you Sarah Connor”?
Dick Seacup Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Needs a diamond plate pickguard to complete the look. Do you know any Judas Priest?
rockabilly69 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Looking at that guitar gives me vertigo:) But I must say, that is some sweet looking wood on that fingerboard!!!

DetroitBlues Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 You'll poke your eyes out kid! Rare, killer guitar Brent!
brentrocks Posted October 22, 2020 Author Posted October 22, 2020 Ditched the EMGs....got into the parts drawer for a facelift
DetroitBlues Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I'm waiting for the cover and conversion to a stop tail bridge!

To be perfectly honest, I had all intentions of converting this over to a Hardtail. But I wanted to give the Kayler a good shot. I got it all strung up and set up and the Kahler performs extremely well. I was very surprised.
DavesNotHere Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Sweet Brent! Nice snatch. I love the fret board.
FredZepp Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I really dig these old and unusual Heritages. A piece of Parsons Street history .... Great job in getting it fine tuned, Brent.
DavesNotHere Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I feel like we should perform some sort of Klingon battle ritual.
