Millennium Limited Edition Questions (2000-2001)

[rlinwood]

I own a 2000 Heritage Millennium Limited Edition (Mill LE).

Has anyone any opinions on adding a gold Bigsby (B7 or B5)?

I have been working on a web page for the guitar series (www.w0ui.com)

 

This guitar was listed as Sequence #003 in the series (not SN).

- The guitar originally shipped from Kalamazoo to Wolfe Guitar in Jupiter, FL.

- I had bought it from the Axe Shop in New York

- Anyone know who used to own this guitar?

 

The 2000 Heritage catalog indicated that there was to be a maximum of 250 built.

- Does anyone know how many of these were actually finished in 2000 and again in 2001?

 

Apparently the guitars with Sequences #001 and #002 were not initially offered for public sale.

- Might anyone have any information about them (prototypes, internal employee sales...) ?

 

If you have a photo with you and your Millennium Limited Edition, email it to me (richard@rlinwood.com)

along with the sequence number and I will add it to the page.

 

I am looking for any comments related to content or accuracy.

 

Regards,

Woody

I own 2 , Heritage told me the run was limited to apx. 67 units. (for year 2000?)

If I am correct your heritage tag is on the inside of the backplate... the first few where that way, now the tag is located under the top fhole.

 

M.M.

Interesting that you appear to have two #22s

- One is your Millie

- What is the other one?

 

So in 2000, they produced about 67 total?

Do we have any idea what happened to 001 and 002 ?

The tag inside the back plate and the original receipt sent to Wolfe (both on my Millie page at www.rlinwood.com) indicate that my guitar (#003) was the first one actually offered for sale.

Could you send a pix and sequence numbers?

Will add them to the MillLe page off www.rlinwood.com

 

Yes - the internal tag was glued to the inside of the removable back plate.

 

Based on what you were told, do we think there were 67 total (2000-2001) or just for 2000 and then another few in 2001 ?

[Millennium Maestro]

I had talked to Bill @ heritage.... I would give him a call and get it straight from the horses mouth.

 

...will work on pics.

006 here. Pics were posted up in the Heritage folders somewhere, I don't have access to them right now.

 

Brent, your new one has a fantastic finish and flames. Really like it.

 

Peace

I found a red one in the "Gallery" at:

- It doesn't indicate a number.

- Is that your number 006 ?

- Curious first name and state?

 

Thanks.

Today I was taking a closer look at the wiring of my 2000 MilLE.

I see what appears to be a soldered wiring connection that was wrapped with black tape.

Additionally, I see a loose white white (runs over into the center block).

 

See attached photo.

 

Curious if someone could suggest where the unconnected white write might belong and

why I might be seeing this cut/soldered/taped connection?

 

Thanks.

That Millie isn't SAE, is it? That barrel jack looks hauntingly like the one on my 2001 Millie SAE. And the extra wires - had lots of 'em in that baby. That solder job does look weird, tho'.

[Millennium Maestro]

looking at the neck tone pot...i would say they are using white as a ground... could possibly be an extra length of the already attched ground of the bridge tone pot.

 

If it is not broken and electronically functioning... I would let it be

Wow. Those are a couple of beauties.
