yavuz Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I pulled the trigger and ordered a custom shop Heritage Millennium Ultra Std. I made some modifications like gold top, 1 pickup only, no inlays and a pick-guard. Here is a photoshopped version of an millie reflecting my mods...
yavuz Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 Now that's a looker! I thought so too. I developed my photoshop skills just to see what it will look like when it is finished. Hopefully it will look even better than the pic. I modified the millie ultra photo at Heritage's site to get it looking like this. My inspiration came from my Heritage 575 at this pic.
tulk1 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 That is a very unique Millie. Should make for a great jazz machine. Nice to see some Millie love happening.
DetroitBlues Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Love a naked ebony neck.. If I ever have a chance for a custom order, a bound but bare ebony board is what I'd do too.
kbp810 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 If your going to make a custom order, why not make it your own? - Well done!
Gitfiddler Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 That is going to one sweet Millie! Your 575 Custom ain't no slacker either! (Great photo, by the way!)
H Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 If I ever have a chance for a custom order, a bound but bare ebony board is what I'd do too. I've got just such a beast on the way in a custom order. It's not a Heritage though.
yavuz Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 I have changed the flat back to solid carved mahogany, thanks to this forum. I did not know about solid carved back option before.... Thanks to everyone...

Thanks to everyone... Yeah, baby!! That will be the stuff, right there. You know, you loose the little access plate on the back for fixing/changing electronics. But I think it's worth it.
mark555 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Yavuz, a big welcome to you, you must be our furthest out member! I think the guitar you have ordered is beautiful, I will look forward to seeing the finished product.
yavuz Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 I don't know how much it looks like my photoshopped stock Millie pic above but this is coming along nicer than my imaginary pic above I think. 2 More weeks and it goes into buffing. You guys at Heritage are just wonderful. Double pleasure today. My album just came out: http://www.esenshop....l.aspx?id=67610 And here is my custom Millie in the making
Spectrum13 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Looks better than your mockup. Excited a little?
yavuz Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Looks better than your mockup. A looot better Excited a little? No not really You've gotta be kidding... I want that guitar in my hands now!!!! I have to wait for a while since it will be shipped to a friend in New York first. Then, someone from friends will bring it over here to Istanbul So, I will walk around with painfully short finger nails for a while...
bolero Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 wow that's amazing, you must be stoked!! congrats!
Steiner Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Kind of like seeing an ultra sound of your new baby! It won't be long now!!!
yavuz Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 My Custom Millie sounds nicer now that it is broken in a bit Here are some photos and a couple of videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtquBPboIF8
