- 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!

Were all those "performances" necessary?
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.
Amazing stuff all around.
Those guitar pickups look out of this world. I want one so badly
These pickup covers are an absolute winner... and greeeeeen!!!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
I'm proud of this guitar made in my country, South Korea. I'll buy it.
Appreciated the video. The four band members of CME who covered the Pumpkins’ songs did a phenomenal job! Very impressed! I’m amazed how close to the tone they came & I saw the Pumpkins live last year. (I could have saved a bunch of $$$):)
Absolutely AWESOME guitar
I have a BC1 and the Z-one, both are amazing guitars and I would highly recommend!
The quality build, the tone, the variety......it's top notch
These guitars actually look awesome.
Just received #17 of 24!!!! (Waited a day to open it cuz it has a cold trip)
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
Those pickups don't disappoint!
Omg first time I've ever seen Billy with hair!! Wild!
Love mine!
that pink one is super rad. I have the BC1 in satin black and that would be a great partner for it
Reverend contender is my favourite. The bass contour is so useful.
I thought it was going to be a gimmick knob that didn't do much....but it can change he the tone from fuzz to crunch to hi gain in my rig.....so much fun.
@brijul630 I thought that to, it's like an added gain/boost in a way,very cool
Yeah! It eliminates the need for any boost pedal (for me at least)
Cool guitar, bet it sounds better with a white paint job though..
I got the reference bro
🤣
You won the Internet with this comment!!!😂😂
Its cool that the other guitarplayer here plays a Silverburst LP Custom.
James Iha has one of those too.
Nice Catch!
Cool guitar. And remember- don't text and drive, don't drink and drive! Stay safe and sane out there.
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.
Dude has the drum sound down..plays well
Nice bouncy bouncy jams
Billy looks like that crazy Uncle that you only see at Christmas and likes to tell stories of the size of fish he recently caught 😂
Naylor is a friggin brilliant genius... period. (Great dude too!)
10:30 was that the Reverend or Beguiled playing over the top of the video cause the tone was identical.
That's the Reverend!
@@chicagomusicexchange Incredible. It sounded like the album.
A much more suitable model for me. Kinda the Reverend Billy F. Corgan Gibbons version.
Anyone know what song the guy was playing in the pickup demo?
“Drown” from the Singles Soundtrack. It was how many folks first heard The Pumpkins. I think it was mine, just before “Today” came out.
Drown.....my first exposure to them from the Singles movie soundtrack.
Madame Zuzu's is not in Chicago.
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.
@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.
The billy Corgan Strata have gone up the last month...
Great interview.
It's nice to see photography of the OG Band (D'arcy 's inclusion) present in Billy's tea shop.
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.
What happened to Billy’s hand?
It’s a birthmark.
Wanking injury.
Why didn’t billy play the demos? He’s sitting there with the damn guitar in his hand lol. The guys doing the demo itself.. not convincing
Hes also playing almost every riff slightly wrong.
Like just playing 3 of those 4 harmonics on the Zero main riff.
They'd have to pay him more.
Missed a trick not giving it a zero fret.
Bring back Naylor amps.
I think that guitar is about $5000 cheaper than anything CME sells
lol we have affordable guitars too!
Actually, all the guitars CME sells are affordable.
Man why not have Billy play, he’s already there with the guitar in hand. Guy in the demos isn’t even playing the songs right, it’s bad.
If I was as legendary as him I wouldn’t play for free either
@@jbroutson17 its his signature guitar that he's obviously getting paid for the namesake and to market it
(Guitar just came out) "We hear that all the time." 🤣
I think he was referring to the bass contour knob which Reverend has been doing for years.
Kinda lame we couldn't see billy play
hmmm, these sound absolutely nothing like the 94-96 sound. Also, Bill sits there with the guitar in hand but someone else makes a half hearted attempt to play the songs weird.
Sound exactly like Zero, BWBW (but fuller)etc though my rig. Where I'm using an Orange, a Mesa or 20watt practice amp. There's no denying it
Billy Corgan can't only not write a song, he can't write an automated thank you letter to his many most genuine thousands of additional guitarist applications; I hope they also all agree on how ultimately self centred he is 😅 don't smash pumpkins, smash your pumpkins albums 🎉😇
The song is called "Quiet", you labeled it "Quite".
Really CME?
Send me the Shell Pink zOne and I'll forgive you.
Wow. I’m hearing Billy doesn’t have a great relationship with his signature guitar builder.
“You didn’t ask me…” “I thought about having my tech make this a dummy knob..”
The cringy etching on the pickup covers… A self-serving colorway…
Dang.
I know right?!
He already cashed the cheque tho.
"I have to make music for this century". Nah, no one cares about the new stuff. Just keep doing nostalgia tours like everyone else nowadays.
3:24 WT ACTUAL F!?! You DON'T play palm mutes on Zero! Learn to freaking listen and to play properly, flippin heck!!!
@@melodiccanvas are you the guitar player in the video or his boyfriend?
It's to demo the guitar not to cover the songs exactly....
@@DavidOakesMusic I can't see how an annoying demo can serve the guitar sales.
@@guitaristssuck8979 And yet you watched it and posted about it multiple times instead of saying " it's not for me " and doing something else with your time.
@@DavidOakesMusic what kind of nonsensical point are you trying to make? Of course I watched it if I found out he played like shit.
Didn't post it anywhere by the way.
Don't struggle too much being defensive with sloppy players, you probably are one of them.
This is the best guitar to rock out while at Disney world.
