REVEREND BILLY CORGAN BC-1 SIGNATURE

Billy Corgan is an avid Reverend collector. Two years ago, the Smashing Pumpkins’ guitarist and frontman called Reverend Guitars founder and designer Joe Naylor to talk about doing a signature model. The goal for both men was to design a guitar unlike any other, with a fresh design, unique tone, and an aesthetic that embodies classic and modern elements.

The result is the Reverend Billy Corgan Signature BC-1. The guitar has a raised center ridge and strategic chambers under the pickguard to add resonance and reduce weight. The string-through-body bridge provides maximum sustain and a percussive attack. The BC-1 is loaded with Railhammer Billy Corgan Signature Pickups, part of Railhammers new Humcutter series.

Lastly, the body is topped with a segmented aluminum pickguard for a modern, yet timeless look. The guitar comes in Satin Purple Burst, Satin Metallic Alpine Green, Satin Pearl White, or Satin Metallic Silver Burst.
