Nice guitar, but as Cliff said it's essentially the same as the CVT Adamas.
The planet fret markers are way cool. |

Location: Michigan | Ive got one and it is most impressive looking to me it plays very nice but as stated I think the only difference between the CVT and the Millineum is the neck and the novelty that only 75 were produced in the USA.GWB |

Was that your bid he declined?
I wouldn't mind having one for the novelty but not for that price...hell, not half that price... seems the vendors can't give away CVT's on ebay anymore. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | I have one and it's the main guitar that I play at church. It sounds great both plugged in and unplugged. I do love the way it looks too... from the cobalt blue to the planet markers. |

Location: SoCal | Very derisive, subjective opinions concerning...I disagree.
I have had CVT's and SMT's...only the Millennium remains. I have sold an Adamas I and an Adamas II but kept the Millennium.
I know of others who will agree.
By the way...don't believe the crap that a CVT or SMT isn't a real Adamas...granted the textured top is the top level but, contrary to the textured top snobs, the CVT and SMT are excellent guitars. |

It is a purdy guitar. I'd be happy to own one.
But I wanna see the weave if I get an Adamas. But I ain't that picky...
So I tune at the Earth, and the Octave is at Saturn? |
