  • Chicago Music Exchange took its show on the road for this demo video and met up with none other than Billy Corgan, himself, plus Reverend Guitars’ CEO at Madame ZuZu’s Emporium, where the two sat down to discuss the latest Reverend Billy Corgan Z-One model now available in CME Exclusive Outfield Ivy! Watch to learn how the guitar-maker achieved Corgan’s special request for a new signature model that delivers a darker, grungier tone in live settings, harkening back to the Smashing Pumpkins’ mid-’90s heyday!

      Thanks for posting this! I never played a Reverend until last year.
      Z One of course. And now, because of the craftsmanship, affordability and kick-assness of this guitar, I'm buying my first limited edition.
      Wouldn't have done it without the help you all gave either.

    I put a Railhammer Billy Corgan Signature Humcutter neck humbucker in my Strat and love how open and responsive it is. A beautiful improvement over the stock Fender neck pickup. These new guitars look great. Just when I feel I have all the guitars I need something like this pops up. Best Wishes - John

    Most people will never understand that it’s not so much the guitar as it is the hands that are playing it. His signature sound comes from the guitar of course but so much comes from the fact that his uniqueness lies within him. His hands are a conduit of this signature sound.

    He's talking about needing to sound contemporary but come on now -- Siamese Dream sounds brand new still, for some reason SP's music just hasn't dated, whereas much 'newer' (in the literal sense) music has.

  • @justletmepostthis276
    @justletmepostthis276 Před 6 měsíci

    @1:37 I think what he means is you can get the new 90's tone, but not the same tone of the 90's, so all those people that have the expensive guitars of the old tone, don't go down in price, but up because we get the new old tone, not the original. I think that's what Billy means.

    does anyone know what pickups are on those btw? I was never too fond of Reverend guitars at first.
    I still really loved Billy's strats with the Dimarzio and especially the Lace Sensor pickups he had installed in them. these Reverends are really starting to grow on me now though.
