K-Rock - Billy Corgan Fender Guitar

Billy Corgan Fender Guitar

Fender has honored Smashing Pumpkins frontman & CEO Billy Corgan with the new Billy Corgan Stratocaster guitar.

The Pumpkin teamed up with the company to design the electric guitar to his exact specifications, which includes “three DiMarzio pickups (two of which are custom-wound for the instrument), a string-through hard-tail bridge, jumbo frets, a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a vintage tweed case.”

Head to Fender.com for details.

There's no word yet as to whether or not Fender will be making 15
different colors to coincide with Billy's onslaught of Zeitgeist releases.
A-Zing!
