Location: Tennessee | 2000C has "Collectors" inlaid in maple at the 12th fret. Lacewood top. I love mine. Never heard it called a millenium before, but anything is possible. If you can get more details, we can probably narrow it down more. |

If yours suits your needs and you are satisfied with it... well, there you go. It's great to be content.
...and yes, he is. As am I. |

I think that if you do a search for the word 'snob'... I said quite the same thing.
I have a list of 47 guitar that I have owned in the past three years.
There are quite a few Celebrity's on that list.
[I don't play that much better on a $3000 Adamas than I do on a $112 Celebrity] |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Nikon, you sound like my wife. Are you sure you're from Ohio? I have 16 different Ovations and I mean different. I've been trying to explain all the differences to my wife for the last several years, but she thinks "a guitar's a guitar" and doesn't even want to agree that a 12 string is different from a 6. The only difference to her is by the color. Fortunately she likes "the blue one." Differences in the top and bowl size make for a big difference in sound. Differences in necks make for big differences in how they play. |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | After zooming to 400%, it appears to have 'Collector' on the 12th fret. If so, that's a 2000 Collector talked about above. Also if it's in very good condition, that's not a bad price. Go ahead and request more pics!
But I've been wrong before... 
Here's my initial 2000 Collector report/review. |

 But Millennium sounds so much cooler!
Anybody wanna email the seller and see if he changes it? :p
That wouldn't be bad in good shape with a case. |

P.S. The pearloid buttons are no longer on there ... I put some of Templeman's grained ivoroids on and they look killer. |
