| Gorgeous Cobalt Blue Millenium. REALLY nice condition - no issues. SUPER Clean, shiny and plays like a dream. Original case has some scuffs and scrapes but is in great shape - all latches work, inside is great. Action is very low which is how I like it. New owner may want to raise the action a bit. Two shims are under the bridge and the one I removed is in the case pocket. This guitar has not been played much and it's a shame. Asking $1,800.00. Thanks, Bob       | |||

George Frey - ...they were made for a big Japanese distributor but some are floating around in the US. Originally I thought they were going to make 1,000 but I don't think they reached that number. There was an OVATION 20th Century model (also with the planet inlays) made for the Japanese market. http://www.ovationtribute.com/Catalogues/2000_Century_Jp_Catalog/2000_Century_Jp_Catalog.html But, they are wood top Ovations not carbon top Adamas.
And I thought the ADAMAS Millennium was made for the USA market???
From an archived post from jimdahl (04/17/02) John Budny replied:
"We built about 75 of the Millennium guitars they had a retail price of about 3200.00. I say about because they were never in price list or catalog. This was a low production limited edition piece really cool looking to as you know."

merlin666 - Looks like the one on sale here is the "universe" model from this catalogue which says Adamas on the headstock.
Good catch. But, the Adamas in the catalog has 20th Century inlayed on the 5th fret... not Millennium.
A little hard to see in the for sale photos maybe, but it's inlayed with Millennium.
Other tells - the Universe Memorial model in the catalog has a SMT top (CVT on Millennium) and single piece blue epaulets (multi-piece woods on Millennium)
Still, that Universe Memorial is a unique Adamas in it's own right. Wonder how many of those were made.???

muzza - 2013-04-21 6:11 AM Bob K - 2013-04-21 7:22 AM Sorry about the upside-down pictures - can't figure out what happened there... What upside-down photos? Strange... if I look at the listing on my iPad, three of the pictures are upside down, if I'm on my PC they are fine. It would take a bigger brain than mine to figure that one out!  Bob | |||

The Milleniums are definately my dream guitar. I wish it was feasable to get MS to put me some abalone inlays around the bowl and up the neck of my Cobalt, that would definately be OOOOO-K with me. | ||

Joined: December 2009 Posts: 79 Location: So Cal | Thanks guys. Yes Willa, I still have the 1680 and I agree...it would be the last to go. In my opinion, nothing else (so far) comes near the sound of the 1680. Oh by the way Willa, you started me lusting for a Mill-CB several years back It was a real treat when I opened the case. The inlay work and overall finish is stunning. It plays easy and Bob K was being modest in his description of the guitar. Another keeper. As far as giving a review on the Millineum, I am not really qualified. The few Adamii I own are different from each other in sound and feel. I enjoy each one of them. | ||

Joined: May 2009 Posts: 1433 Location: Right now? | Jim, I agree; each Adamas, even amongst the same model numbers, are different in sound, feel, etc. I love mine even more than my Martins and Taylors, which are also very awesome. I do love my M & T's though, too, ha. The Millenniums (which I mis-spelled last post ~ it's two "L's" and two "N's") ... ha is really a special git, me thinks. I wish you much enjoyment with them!
