bsck1 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Richard, what a treasure! The passion that went both into your specs, and their execution by the masters, make this one irreplaceable instrument. It is simply drop dead gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 One thing I never understood was the placement of the toggle. I like the Les Paul layout, that is a bit Gretsch-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymclark Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 One thing I never understood was the placement of the toggle. I like the Les Paul layout, that is a bit Gretsch-like.on the lower horn? Gretsch models typically have them in the same place as a Les Paul. They do, however, often have a master volume down there. My old Guild X-500 has the switch in the lower horn like this. The Gibson L5 and Super 400 also have the toggle down there. Super common. I'm not a switch flipper and my picking hand movements are slight so it doesn't bug me. If I was, I could totally see wanting it up where LPs place them like my Gretsch and H575. Fun side note, the Guild also has a master volume right next to the toggle. So that horn as a lot in it!

CJTopes Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 One thing I never understood was the placement of the toggle. I like the Les Paul layout, that is a bit Gretsch-like. As soon as I got used to it I prefer the PUP switch to be on the lower horn.. I wonder if anyone has ever made a Millie DC cut out of mahogany with a mahogany neck and Maple cap... I'm kicking around that idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 at first I didn't like the lower horn toggle either...but I got used to it, on the 'bird and the millie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhoadsScholar Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 So I have gone through a few Millies (and a few heritage guitars for that matter). I have noticed that I prefer the Millie Standard Ultra with mahogany vs a 155 which is all maple. I know it must be a subtle difference, but I guess that is why they make so many flavors. I also prefer the no f-holes on the 155 so my Milly standard ultra without the F holes (pictured above) is kinda the best of both worlds. I also prefer potted pickups (SD 59s, HRWs to Seth Lovers) but that is probably because we do louder classic rock/blues. I can still achieve nice jazz tones from the neck pickup and crank it when I need to. Something else to consider when configuring your millie build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
