Here we’ve landed a great example of Thomas Humphrey’s Millenium design from 1995, rigged up with Brazilian Rosewood under Spruce, a 650mm scale, and 51mm nut. At the soundhole we have a flower mosaic rosette which offers some color, pairing nicely with the warmly aged surrounding Spruce. A full neck profile with a slight C shape, terminating at the body with the elevated fingerboard extension design ubiquitous to the Millenium. This beauty has been lovingly played in since 1995 and has the marks to prove it, and for us this helps explain the wide open, powerful voice—you only sound this good when you’ve had a lot of music pass through your strings.

This is a wonderful example of Master Luthier Thomas Humphrey’s work. A 2006 Millennium model crafted from Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce and featuring all the design concepts that has made the Millennium highly sought after. The elevated fingerboard, sloped top and lattice bracing, all combine to create power and beauty. This guitar projects wonderfully, and a softer touch can coax a delicate voice that mesmerizes. This one is a 650mm scale with a perfect setup. Elegant and sublime.

We are delighted to be able to offer this rare Thomas Humphrey Millenium guitar. It starts with a tremendous set of straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood and is topped with well-matured Spruce. This is a rare one where Tom used his curved ‘smiley-face’ bridge design and is a 660 scale.

Luthier, and head of Guitar at Furman University, Steven Walter went over this instrument for us and made a new bridge, refretted it and touched up the French Polish breathing wonderful new life into this wonderful guitar. This guitar is suitable for the highest level of player and has a very clear and articulate voice that is at once powerful and lyrical. This is a tremendous example of Humphrey’s great work.

This guitar comes to us from a guitar head at a major University. It is a traditional Humphrey played into maturity at the hands of a master. Those of you that have ever played a guitar with thousands of hours in the hands of master player know what that does to a guitar. The Spruce top is fully open and offering wonderful array of colors and a vast dynamic range. While well known for his Millenium design, Thomas Humphrey always built a remarkable traditional design as well as evidenced here. Don’t miss this rare opportunity for one of the finest Humphrey guitars you’ll find.

This amazing Humphrey Millennium sold before it hit our website. It was purchased by a rising star in the classical guitar world and will no doubt make lots of music for years to come. That is the legacy of the great luthier Thomas Humphrey, who recently passed, music filling a hall for all to enjoy.
