Just dropped it off with my tech to install Seth Lover pickups, fresh set of 11’s, and some minor adjustments. Will report back. Getting it ready for a jazz groove/funk/soul/rock band project that has been percolating in my head. Tunes like Lucky Southern, Cantaloupe Island, Valdez in the Country, Killer Joe, Back at the Chicken Shack, Song for my Father, Comin’ Home Baby, some classic rock jam tunes, some “acid jazz” as the kids call it today. Think Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express, or El Chicano for the ballpark. Electric, rhythmic, danceable, but still with a jazz vibe. Getting older sure motivates you to get some shit done before you can’t anymore. Been wanting to do a project like this one for a long time.

I like Seths they are consistently gread sounding pickup. When I was doing installs for people I installed alot of them and they always sounded great. That's really a beautiful guitar, some serious flame maple there!!! Millies like yours remind me of GIbson L5s guitars which are my favorite Gibsons. And yes, getting older does motivate you to get things done! Go out and rock that new guitar!

Brian Auger is cool and most people. even keyboardists never heard of him. I am a fan of his first album with Jules Driscoll as well as all of the Oblivion Express stuff. especially Replacements. That's a cool song list you have going for sure.

Those double white DiMarzios look much better than the zebras that were in there. But I would really like to see that guitar with some covers on the pickups. That’s just too upscale of a top. Also, some better reflector knobs the ones that really reflect. That top is worth it. It’s a great looking, Guitar. Glad to hear that. It sounds great too..

You know Syd, I really like P90's. I mean, I know that's not profound or anything: heck, we all do! But for me, it goes far beyond that.

That sounds like a fun project & really great music to play! I caught Brian Auger a few years ago: he was amazing see live, especially after listening to all his albums & session work over the years. Did you know he played the harpsichord intro on "heart full of soul" by The Yardbirds? it's a funny story, he talks about it on youtube somewhere. Congrats on the NGD I always liked that cutaway on a millenium. Beauty!

Seths should sound great in your new Millie. I also like 11's on my gits. They thicken the tone just enough, while allowing for string bends and vibrato.

Dibs.

Can't remember where I heard that before.

Great looking line up there. It's great when you can sit down with many examples of a guitar you're interested in. I'm about 5 hours away from La Crosse but have not been there in many years. I have been to the Milwaukee shop but it's a much smaller place. Enjoy your new 535!

Well, Brent, we know you'll keep it for while. Beautiful piece of maple for that top!

Really nice. Congrats.

Late to the thread here, but I drove over to Dave's the other day and brought this one home. I ended up playing six CC H-535s and two Gibson CS Historic ES-335s, and this one was clearly the winner in terms of tone and playability. I honestly believe that the new 2025 bridge systems on both the H-535 and H-150 guitars are a huge improvement over the previous Pinnacle bridges:

s'nice

Looks like big fun !

the 225's sound great from the clips I've heard, more like the Duncan Antiquity than the Lollar ( I have both )

I still think the Millennium should be in the Heritage lineup. It's a unique guitar, versatile and great sounding.

This guitar is a monster player. Playing it with three different amps, with and without a drive pedal. Sounds huge and beautiful no matter what it is paired with. I had to stop because my ears were ringing.

LOLLAR p90s are the best. Hands down
