Reverend Billy Corgan BC1
I’ve aways felt that Billy Corgan is
underrated as a guitarist. He may not
be in the number one slot on a guitar
hero listicle, but he has played some
of the most legendary songs of our
time, and heavy tones to go with them.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
changed my life when it came out, and
if you also cry when you listen to it,
you can shed even more tears when
you lay your hands on his signature
guitar from Reverend. Featuring a
korina body, the center is raised,
providing a Firebird-esque look, while
the wings are chambered to increase
resonance while keeping the weight
down. The bolt-on maple neck and
fingerboard has an oval shape and
12-inch radius. The pickups are Billy’s
own Railhammer signature design,
aimed at achieving huge humbucker
tones with the clarity and snap of a
P-90. Top that off with some sweet
finish options and a radical aluminum
pickguard, and you have a fantastic
signature guitar that’ll take you from
zero to hero with one chord.
