Fender launches new Billy Corgan Stratocaster Guitar

Fender has unveild a smashing new addition to the artist signature line of electric guitars this month with the release of the Billy Corgan Stratocaster guitar, an extraordinarily versatile tone-machine, produced to Corgan's exacting specifications. The new Billy Corgan Stratocaster is an especially modern take on the iconic Fender Strat model, built especially for a high-gain sound and designed to create Corgan's signature mid-'90s buzz saw tone.

When the alternative rock exploded in the 1990s, one of the movement's driving characteristics was a lack of real guitar solos. One of the first and most successful bands to break away from that trend, the Smashing Pumpkins, also boasted one of Gen X's first bona fide guitar heroes, Billy Corgan.

More than 30 million albums later and fresh off the success of 2007's critically-acclaimed and gold-certified Zeitgeist album and massive world tour, Corgan teamed with Fender to create the guitar he's always dreamed of. The guitar features 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. It is offered in an Olympic White finish, with a black pickguard or Black finish with a white pickguard, reflective of Corgan's signature style.
