Questions about the Millennium builds

[MartyGrass]

It is well known that Heritage made many custom changes on its earlier instruments.  But I wonder what the usual builds for each Millie model was.

I've had a few Millennium 2000 Eagles.  They had carved maple tops and backs and maple necks.  Millennium DC has a carved top and what looks like a carved maple back.  The other Millenniums had mahogany backs like the H-150.

Is that correct?

Yes, and backs were not carved. 
 

Original models were H158 like you described, later versions were H155.

They made some with lams like a 535 too

[MartyGrass]

This one looks like it may be carved.

That's a beauty!

Millenium Eagle?

[tbonesullivan]

The H-158 "Classic" I has both a laminated arched top and back, with no electronics access plate.

Wow!

And a Heritage amp to match!

This one surely floats my boat, and I would like it more with an H tailpiece, some black with silver reflector knobs, and all nickel hardware. I can wish

Tim does drop your jaw once someone mentions a specific model and he displays his superb example of same.
