[rjsanders]

props to Jay Wolfe (& Jim & Marv & JP & Bill & al.) for the guitar (it's the first, certified by Bill Paige) & CB Perkins for the amp

Man, that's slick looking!

[Thundersteel]

That's nice. I just noticed the f-holes as well. It that a hollow-body or semi-solid body?

[rjsanders]

thanks, buds.  it's semi-hollow/-solid.  much like a scaled-down 335/535

Wow, thats a beauty! Is that the small-size peghead?

i believe it is, but not sure...which models get a bigger headstock?  archtops?

Yes, archtops get the big paddle. They can be custom ordered with small headstocks, but why on earth would someone do a thing like that. I've never owned a Heritage solid-body but I think that it is a very beautiful guitar. I even like the look of the smaller headstock, just not the lack of resonance.

The Millennium DC is a carved front back and side semi-hollow body vs the laminated body of the H535 etc.

I really like the single cutaway model you showed on another thread.  Killer axe!

So that 's like a Gibson 336/356 construction, right?

[wingnut1]

That's correct gitfiddler.

Actually, the Millie DC doesn't have a carved back, it's flat.  At least on mine.  Unless by 'carved' you mean something totally different than I mean by 'carved.'  Which is entirely possible...even likely.

yes, i b'lieve this applies to all the Millenium guitars (it was true of my Limited Ed.)

 

my DC has the HRWs.  a friend plugged it into his Komet w/vintage Marshall cab, cranked it around 1-2 o'clock and pronounced it "the Screamer" (in the nicest possible way, of course  ;D)
