The Leach Millennium Guitar

The Leach Millennium guitar is a Cremona model using the coolest wood I had in my shop on Jan. 1, 2000. To make it "official" I began working on it on Jan.1st as well (I guess to make it really official I should complete it on Jan. 1, 2001 :-)  A special inlay in the rosette is the only detail stating this guitar is "The" Millennium guitar". It has a small dragon on the peghead (2000 is also the "Year of the Golden Dragon"). The only other inlay will be abalone trim. Wood binding and all the little goodies one might expect from this sort of guitar....oh. and the fretboard "Dots" are opals. Special label with a 2000 Sacajawea dollar.
