Billy Corgan Signature Stratocaster
July 30th, 2008
Fender has come out with a new signature guitar called the Billy Corgan Signature Stratocaster
this is what billy had to say about it..
I think what’s difficult for people in this modern culture, with such high-gain rock application, is understanding how to play a style that expresses their individual personality and yet still keeps them sort of within the sound that’s current, which is very, very high-gain. And what I’ve worked with Fender to try to do is to create an instrument that will both allow the individualistic expression at a very high level… and at the same time allow your personality to shine through and play high-gain rock, which I think Fender’s been a little behind the curve in addressing.
There is no word on price right now but the body will be made from alder, maple beck and the frets will go up to 22 and be jumbo. it will use a 70s large headstock and logo
Here is a quick video demo of it
