Its a Billy Corgan signature strat. The neck is much the same setup as my MIA strat but with jumbo frets which I've fallen in love with. I thought it looked cool, played better than any of my other guitars and as I am quite partial to the 90s Smashing Pumpkins albums, his name on the back of the headstock wasn't a put off.

Big headstock, black parts on a white scratchplate, HARDTAIL!!!! Cool pickups (even if they are hum-cancelling - sacrilege!! :roll: )

Very cool indeed.

I would've bought one myself if only it had a fatter neck.

I hope you are happy!

Post by: Modular1 on January 04, 2012, 07:12:49 PM: Another reason I liked it was I always liked the satin nitro lacquer finish that the Highway One series had. This one has the same. This is pretty much a MIA hardtail highway one with higher gain pickups and a tweed case. No complaints from me here! :)
