http://www.imuso.co.uk/Accessories/Pickups/16992-/DiMarzio-DP225-Billy-Corgan-BC-1-Humbucker-Strat-Neck-Pickup-White

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.

Its a hard tail too. The sustain is much better than on my usa standard. Another reason i think it grabbed me!

I like it a lot!

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.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Aaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh, just great timing for when I'm seriously GASsing for (and can't afford) a hardtail strat.

I hope you are happy!
I think I hate being indecisive.

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! :)

Very nice indeed. I put black plastic parts onto my Highway One so I must like the look right? ;)
