i didn't start this topic to talk about or bash billy...i started it to talk about the guitar. i think all the non-believers really haven't listened to the pumpkins discography. and yes i have been into the smashing pumpkins since i was 12 and am now i'm 24. i have been playing guitar for 12 years and can truly say this is a great guitar, i have owned many fenders in my day. i like this strat because it is really loud and very veristile. another very cool aspect of the guitar (because i very much am my own player) is that it is just a black and white guitar and without really inspecting it an average joe wouldn't be able to tell that it's a corgan strat. but what do i know, my band only plays almost every weekend. and i wouldn't need a guitar that's reliable, looks good, stays in tune, sounds good clean or dirty,
right? before you start bashing listen to the smashing!!!!

Wow ... tough group. I am a big SP fan, but never thought of Corgan as a big-time git player. To me, his is a songwriter above all. But I can't believe people are questioning Fender having a BC sig guitar. C'mon ... the fact that it is a cool guitar is enough for me. But so many people require EVH chops to have a sig guitar? That is silly.

BTW: Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is absolutely brilliant. Check it out.

the 3 dimarzio's interested me. I dont like the black with white guard and black knobs and covers, i like the white one, i'd have to change the neck too, i prefer smaller headstocks. I always want a trem too whether i block it or not, its just a quitesential part of the strat to me.

Just not my kind of guitar.

corgans a great guitarist, his sense of melody is brilliant as are his experiments with effects.

I'm not a huge fan of the Smashing Pumpkins, but I do like a lot of their songs. Corgan is an excellent songwriter and arranger. I particularly like Corgan's buzzsaw guitar tones from the early to mid-90's. That's why I'm going to buy this guitar (when they're finally stocked in adequate supplies).

It's simple but solid, provides the endless sustain I seek, and has the guts to achieve the humbucking-overdriven hard high-gain sound that I want to add to the crystal clear tones of my Fender American Deluxe Telecaster.

As far as I'm concerned, it's all about tone and quality. This guitar is a winner for certain players, especially for the price. I'll always back Fender products because they've never failed me.

I'm interested in comments by people who already own or who've played this model.

Anybody know when more of this model will be shipped to retail outlets? Everyone's out of stock right now.
