tbonesullivan Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 that might mean that it is a second model Millennium. I believe they have made some changes to the design over the years. Some have a flat back, and some have an arched back, for example.
tulk1 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I am not a number I am a free man! True. And you're probably not a Millennium Eagle, either. ..........
DetroitBlues Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I'd just like to know who has the lowest serial number guitar on the forum! I have B04703
H Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I'd just like to know who has the lowest serial number guitar on the forum! I have B04703 BarryMClark has an A-serial H-140. He posted a pic of it in a very recent thread here.

DetroitBlues Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 BarryMClark has an A-serial H-140. He posted a pic of it in a very recent thread here. B series is from 1985, the first year of Heritage guitars. How can he have an A series???? Did they sell a few prototypes???
H Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 B series is from 1985, the first year of Heritage guitars. How can he have an A series???? Did they sell a few prototypes??? Marv Lamb is his great-uncle (or something like that) by marriage. I actually might be wrong about it being Barry but it's definitely a long-standing HOC member.

barrymclark Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 BarryMClark has an A-serial H-140. He posted a pic of it in a very recent thread here. I don't have it. Father in law does... but I will be in its presence over the weekend of PSPIV! B series is from 1985, the first year of Heritage guitars. How can he have an A series???? Did they sell a few prototypes??? SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. There are a few mythical A serials supposedly floating around. Whether or not you believe in them is in your hands and a matter of faith. Marv Lamb is his great-uncle (or something like that) by marriage. I actually might be wrong about it being Barry but it's definitely a long-standing HOC member. Quite right. He is my wife's great uncle. She remembers when Marvin hand-delivered a 1985 H-140 to her father (Marv's nephew) when she was a child.
H Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Coo, almost got it right I couldn't find the original post to cross-check the facts
barrymclark Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Coo, almost got it right I couldn't find the original post to cross-check the facts I AM RESEARCHED! SWEET!
bolero Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 haha, great thread sorry maestro, I must have bought it off the guy who wouldn't ship it to vegas....good fortune for me, as it would have been gone! he did have it listed for a while...I think I even started a thread on it; I wasn't going to buy it, and then eventually I just went to check it out, and *blam* I had to have it. ( actually Neil Young forced me to buy it, indirectly ) those are his original for sale pics though
DetroitBlues Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Yikes, Neil Young??? I heard him talk about her, heard old neil put her down. One thing Neil Young must remember, a southern man don't need him around anyhow... I'm from the north, but have roots in the south.
bolero Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Lynyrd Skynyrd were good friends with Neil, that was more of an inside joke from what I recall in any case they both wrote some great tunes..Neil even wrote tunes for them to record -------------- From an interview with Ronnie Van Zant: "We wrote Alabama as a joke. We didn't even think about it - the words just came out that way. We just laughed like hell, and said 'Ain't that funny'... We love Neil Young, we love his music..." As for the rumor that Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded the Neil Young song "Powderfinger" here's an interview in MOJO Magazine , where Young said: "Lynyrd Skynyrd almost ended up recording Powderfinger before my version came out. We sent them an early demo of it because they wanted to do one of my songs. Interviewer Q. Surprising, that. After all, Lynyrd Skynyrd put you down by name on Sweet Home Alabama, their first hit single.... Young: Oh, they didn't really put me down! But then again, maybe they did! (laughs) But not in a way that matters. Shit, I think Sweet Home Alabama is a great song. I've actually performed it live a couple of times myself. " In addition to the song "Powderfinger", Young allegedly also gave the band the song “Sedan Delivery” and "Captain Kennedy" to record" ------------ there's also pics around of van Zandt wearing a Neil Young shirt, and Young wearing a Skynyrd shirt
NoNameBand Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Guys ..... I've seen that guy on the far right in the Mid-evil festival plays. Funny pic about not having any pics. Brilliant!
RJLII Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I don't have it, but I played the prototype! In 1999 I took my H-550 to the factory for some custom work. While I was there Ren hands me this new guitar they were working on. He said it was going to be called the Millenium and was coming out in a few months. He asked me to twang on it for a minute and wondered what I thought. I remember suggesting that they make it 25 1/2" scale. Good thing they didn't listen.
