Fender Billy Corgan Stratocaster: Bald Cap Not Included

June 25, 2008
Fender Billy Corgan Stratocaster

The latest in Fender Artist Series guitars is the Billy Corgan Stratocaster, which was showcased at Summer NAMM 2008. Though his songwriting skills and hyper-nasally vocals sometimes overshadowed his guitar prowess, Billy's fascination with wall of sound guitars and liberal use of violent, speedy fretboard attacks make him about due for a signature guitar.

The Fender Billy Corgan Stratocaster features an alder body with a maple neck and fretboard that runs 22 frets long. The neck is a modern "C" shape that's factory strung with Fender Super Bullet With Butterfly Strings.

The Billy Corgan Stratocaster also features Billy Corgan signature pickups by DiMarzio. The neck and the bridge are both fit with specially designed Billy Corgan Single-Spaced Humbucking Pickups that sandwich a DiMarzio Chopper in the middle position.

Some other unique features to this guitar include a satin nitrocellulose lacquer body finish, white plastic parts, a large '70s style headstock with matching logo and more stylistic details. It comes with a vintage tweed case.

Corgan Strat is the only

Corgan Strat is the only guitar that the more you play the more you want to choke it's neck. Are they going to sell this one at Hot Topic too?

My only regret is that I didn't think of the line "Despite all its rage, it is still just a strat in a case."

a little emotional...

By: bholland

Chill, man. J. was obviously having a bit of satiric fun.

Besides-I'm-getting-ready-to-release-my-signature line-of-gearwire-bald-caps-as-well-.

I don't know what J.'s feelings are, but I like the smashing pumpkins.

SP is one of my favorite

By: jirvinggiles

SP is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I think Corgan is a hugely underrated guitarist -- I might have stated that in the article.

Most of the things I poke fun at are solely out of love.

a note on hyphens...

By: bholland

Hyphens are most commonly used to break single words into parts, or to join ordinarily separate words into single words.

A definitive collection of hyphenation rules does not exist. Therefore, the writer or editor should consult a manual of style or dictionary of his or her preference, preferably for the country in which he or she is writing. The rules of style that apply to dashes and hyphens have evolved to support ease of reading in complex constructions; editors often accept deviations from them that will support, rather than hinder, ease of reading. Spaces should not be placed between a hyphen and either of the words it connects except when using a suspended hyphen (e.g. nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers—see below).

The use of the hyphen in compound nouns and verbs has, in general, been steadily declining. Compounds that might once have been hyphenated are increasingly left with spaces or are combined into one word. The sixth edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary removed the hyphens from 16,000 entries, such as fig-leaf (now fig leaf), pot-belly (now pot belly) and pigeon-hole (now pigeonhole).[1] In other countries hyphens are dropped in favor of connecting the two-word compounds. Use of the hyphen is particularly avoided by those concerned with visual cleanliness, for example writers of advertising copy, packaging labels etc.

However, a significant number of compounds are still routinely hyphenated (e.g. breast-feed, add-on (noun), get-together, Hewlett-Packard, merry-go-round). Hyphenation remains the norm in certain compound modifier constructions and, amongst some authors, with certain prefixes (see below). Hyphenation is also routinely used to avoid unsightly spacing in justified texts (for example, in newspaper columns).
