brentrocks Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I finally found my Millennium....its heavily modded, but a great playing....great sounding Heritage with a really cool feature! Its a 1998 Ultra Standard Millennium. It sports the original Seth Lovers but also have a piezo bridge which gives this guitar a whole different horizon of sounds! Studiobill, who i bought this from, had the piezo installed as well as a 13 pin ghost synth system. The synth system, I will prob never use, but the piezo....that is a cool feature! The piezo controls are on the lower horn. The mini toggle turns the piezo bridge on and or mixes it with the Seths. The volume/mix pot is a push put with bass boost. This Milli features an ebony board, blocks, bound and inlaid peghead, multi ply binding and a bound neck. The neck is pretty slim. I will probably have to take it to Pete and have the frets dressed soon...there is a lot of wear on the D and B, 1st 4 frets. Bill must have played this Milli quite a bit...but at the same time it was well taken care of.
Dick Seacup Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I clicked on this expecting to see my long-departed Millie DC. <sigh> Oh, how I miss her! Beautiful looking guitar, as always, Brentster! Can you split the piezo from the magnetics via a stereo cable? Run the mags into the Marshall stack and the piezo into, say, an SWR Strawberry Blonde or something?
brentrocks Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 But are you sure you don't mean 2008? oh yeah....i do...thanks!!

schundog Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Nice, Man! Millies with Seths are something to behold; some of the sweetest sounds I've ever heard. You got the RIGHT finish, too, IMHO. I'm just not sure I could stand that gob of wires showing through the lower F hole, but that's just me. Congratulations, enjoy her.
Millennium Maestro Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 You sure you dont mean Millie Dc instead of millie Ultra too....
hinesarchtop Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 what a cool guitar! I'd hate to rewire it though. How doe's it sound compared to the Prospect? With just the regular pickups engaged.
hinesarchtop Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 what a cool guitar! I'd hate to rewire it though. How doe's it sound compared to the Prospect? With just the regular pickups engaged. I meant to say the Academy guitar.

With just the regular pickups engaged. thats a good question...ill have more time tonight to assess that....at first the milli seemed a little darker
SouthpawGuy Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Nice one Brent, love those Millies. btw Great to see your GAS is still under control
kidsmoke Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 That is a cool guitar. I don't know that I would've had the stones to take a drill to it the way someone did, but I can see why. Makes for a super versatile guitar. Enjoy!!
Gitfiddler Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Wow, Brent, that Millie has been hot rodded, modded, customized and synthesized!! That's a Swiss Army gitfiddle!!
golferwave Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 That is a real beauty Brent! One worth waiting for.
gpuma Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Now you can finally play that famous Kenny G sax solo you always wanted to play! Just teasing you... Congrats, it's really awesome
