MartyGrass Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I really like the look of the Millie and the build concept. My favorite in appearance is the Eagle 2000. The easiest to get high access on is the DC. I don't think they sound different in general, but individual instruments may well vary. In route is a DC. It's blue. There are a few notable features. The hardware is chrome, probably because the finish is blue. The neck is maple. It's a 2004. It came with HRWs, but the seller swapped out for Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge and APH-1n Alnico II Pro in the neck. I found HRWs in my previous Millies and solidbodies to be too harsh and shrill. They work well in hollowbodies. The seller was kind enough to include the strap components of the straplocks, a new set of strings, and the HRWs. He's a real gent. I'm tempted to change out the bridge and tailpiece. I'll hunt to see if I have the parts already. That's not essential for me. I've had experience with Heritage's blue guitars. They go greenish over the years with yellowing of the lacquer. This one's 20 years old and looks deep blue still. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 SWEET!!! I've always thought the Mille was one of Heritage's best guitars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 This arrived unscathed. The neck is what I'd call a medium carve. The guitar balances well. It sounds good and plays well. No complaints. I've got a set of HRWs that are extra to put into something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelG Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Absolutely stunning. I have a black Millie with gold instead of chrome...I've always been partial to the chrome. Gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 SUPER SCORE. With the HRWS that's great, and the color is awesome. The pickups in their now are also a really good choice for a semi-hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
