- Matt checks out the Reverend Billy Corgan Signature guitar. This unique-looking model includes Railhammer pickups and perfectly suits the Smashing Pumpkins frontman's huge tone.

Thanks A LOT for playing clean chords (!) and sparing us the usual pentatonic noodling!!!
The Art Deco design speaks to me
Just ordered one! Can't wait to play
Just bought one and it sounds monstrous!! In a good way. My only slight gripe is that the switch, in its middle position, seems to sound VERY similar to the neck position, rather than an equal(ish) blend of both pickups. Other than that, hands down the best out-of-the-box set up I've ever come across. Stunning guitar!
Oh, and I love the fact that it's so ugly!! ;)
Billy corgan have a great taste in guitars and also on pro wrestling.
well is is a super famous musician and he does own the NWA
The one Reverend model I'm not impressed with.Check out the others.
'Pro wrestling' is garbage. I'm surprised he got into that nonsense.
I think that guitar looks great - and of course it sounds fantastic!!
I own two Reverends. Absolutely amazing guitars.
Agreed. I have this BC-1 in satin pearl and just picked up a Charger in gunmetal gray. Great guitars!
Great demo! Thanks for not just using fuzz the whole time!
Cool guitar. Futuristic looking.
Looks and sounds great. When I heard about it on the podcast, I was "meh", but seeing after seeing it, I am much more impressed.
Well done. Great review! You made everything sound top!
Starts playing at 2:46 - nice knobs...
I wish it had a ebony fretboard to go along with silverburst look.
Nice. sounds great, But it's a odd looking beast.
JimSadler much like Billy himself
Very good!, What camera and lenses do you use?
Anyone knows what kind of neck profile this has ?
The Reverend necks are basically a 12" compound radius, despite the material.Remind me of higher end Charvel , but beefier profile.It's a good compromise between vintage and modern sound and feel,- IMHO, - the best I've played.Still a little fight in them, and as resonant as a piano.
“Handsigned in America” that’s worth at least another $500 😏
How does body add resonance? I thought it was electronics(pickups).
The pickups "pick up" the string vibrations. Resonance comes from the way that the guitar is set up - especially the make up of the body but also frets, action, bridge, but, etc.
Guitar sounds great (much better than it looks) but this video has sold me more on the OD pedal!
Martin Cliffe that little amp is cool too!
What kind of amp is that? It sounds great.
ohplezz Roland Blues Cube. It’s actually a digital amp.
what amp is he using? it sounds nice. 🐈
Great demo! The humbuckers sound great!
You’ve got the bass contour the wrong way round. The contour is on when the bass is reduced from the tone. Not when it’s added to the tone.
the bass contour doesn't add bass, it takes it away
depends on how your amp is set up
Chris Wilson
Glass half empty, I see?
I would’ve liked to have heard the bass contour being used in the neck position, but it appears you never showed us clean or dirty. Shame.
pretty versatile guitar
gdamn its been 3 years but play some smashing pumpkins songs with a big muff
what's that noise?? oh, it's your beard .. :D
That doesn't look like a 3 way pickup selecter, it looks like a 5 way
Jordan Gallaher why would there be 5 selections there's only 2 pickups
+Kaden Bohm because he for some reason is just looking at the way it looks and doesn't understand :)
Kaden Bohm the 'inbetween' positions could be coil tap, however with the bass countor that doesn't really seem necessary
Kaden Bohm Jerry Mondragon I know it's a 3 way, I said it just looks like a 5 way.
I'm currently working on one for a client. It's a 3 way. And you kids might not know, but for many years - there was no such thing as a 5 way. So there.
PTB is not unique to Reverend. It's a blatant derivative of Leo Fender's design. You get it in every G&L Legacy.
African Limba depending on density is not heavier.
In fact, if you request actual weight, it tends to be super light.
Reverends tend to be below 7.5lbs.
A comparable mahogany or alder guitar may be upwards of 8 or 9 lbs.
Some, like me think Reverends are obnoxiously light. Like toys.
*edit
Also, despite popular belief, "Korina" is a cheaply sourced wood in Africa, much like Sapele. It is not legendary. Gibson used it as a cost saving measure. Reverend rides on the hype.
too bassy
You can easily fix this and get the tone you want. It literally has a bass roll off. You can also get an EQ pedal (most essential pedal ever) or EQ your amp effectively?
I just do not like the look. It looks cheap. Like a plastic guitar for children.
The guitar sounds better than Billy Corgan...
