Why No More Millies?

[MartyGrass]

I don't see any more Millies or H-150LWs being made.  It has to be due to poor sales.  They don't look much more difficult to build.  Heritage used to charge an extra $150 for the H-150LW and even made some H-157LWs.  Millies look like they start with a mahogany billet and open it up more than the H-150.

Probably because no one outside of the lot of us has ever heard of a Millie.

This thread needs a picture.

What about Millie Bobby Brown?

I agree that Milies (H155, Custom, Pro, Y2K, etc.) should be reintroduced by Heritage. 

It certainly would bring a more unique build concept to the market, and separate Heritage from a crowded field of solid/semi-hollow body guitar designs.

At one time Heritage offered a Custom Millie as part of its bespoke program.

U know me, I’m a Millie lover. Lighter than a H150 unless you pay the premium custom core prices. My H155 made my heavy H150, lovely as it was, expendable.

They should bring them back. I always wanted a Millie Pro model. Weird designation but the florentine cutaway was neato.

It's all about the $$$$. The biggest sellers that Heritage has and has had for years are the H150 and H535 models, which correspond to two of the G-brands most popular models. It is kinda sad that pretty much all the models that separated them from G-brand are gone, but they have to make the guitars that the market wants and will sell to keep going.
