A fine and very clean example of the well loved Millennium. In his later years of building he used exclusively his lattice bracing, but this instrument is an early Millennium where he was still using his versions of fan bracing. Outwardly it is like all other Millenniums with his trademark elevated fretboard. The guitar is in fine condition particularly given its age, really quite excellent condition. It sounds perhaps a bit more on the traditional side than later Millenniums, not surprisingly, and while not as loud as later versions, certainly has ample volume and the voice is still very much what players expect to hear from a Millennium, they have their own much loved character, and you find that in this guitar. If you have always liked the playability of the Millennium guitars, and yet found yourself more drawn to fan braced guitars as opposed to other bracing styles, then this would be a great guitar for you to consider.
