Not a Strat guy, but I totally dig that!
Nice. What kind of pickups are those?

Dimarzio
BC-1 neck
Chopper middle
BC-2 bridge
in other words his own designed pickups and chopper in middle.

The tones from them are pretty wild. Especially with the split bridge and middle pickup position. Very unique . I was playing it in the shop through an AC-30 and it was almost hypnotic. Playing it at home through clean settings it's just so sparkly. This thing is a really nice setup.

Apparently Billy Corgan started on a Fender Mustang. Interesting.

Fuck, I think Billy Corgan just sold me a strat
Not literally of course, but he seemed very passionate about his signature guitar, and if I see one in a shop I'll probably pick it up and give it a go when I might not have before

Oh yes. Absolutely love the sound of the Corgan signature and that's from someone who is in no way a strat guy Corganlove.

Great song, not quite the same without Mike Mills on mellotron.

Normally Strats bore me, but a Corgan Strat could potentially change my mind.

Pretty cool, maaaan, would be interested to play a Strat with nowt but single-sized buckers for reals.
Corgan's statement about the Strat being some magical conduit that players can make sound "their own" is duuuuuuuum-b.. ALL guitars do that, not just the ones you're inventing selling points for.
Ditto how some signature instruments "just make you sound like the signee", utter baloney.

Corganlove.
