Billy Corgan Strat

[D-Rock]

Thoughts?? I think it's pretty badass. 2 custom Dimarzio pups, maple board, large headstock, 22 jumbo frets, hartail bridge.

Yep, I think they look great and I don't think $1200 for a MIA sig strat is too bad at all. I'm thinking about picking the white one up, if they ever ship.

The black one is pretty nice IMO. Probably wouldn't buy one though.

 

[jonny toetags]

It's nice, but the neck is way to white.
They have them at a store here. I can't stand that 'bleach' white neck

Heard one at Summer NAMM 08 through an EVH 5150III....sounded awesome.

I think the white one is glorious looking.
