Signature features and custom design for rich low tunings.

The Reverend Billy Corgan Signature Drop Z electric guitar combines the aesthetic beauty of his popular Z-One model with a longer 26.25" scale neck optimized for dropped tunings. The extended scale length provides ideal string tension when tuned down so the tone stays full and deep yet punchy and articulate. The alder body joined with Railhammer Billy Corgan signature pickups generates heightened output and velvety treble for a rich, weighty rock and roll sound. The roasted maple neck, fingerboard and medium oval profile offer smooth playability even with the slightly extended scale. Visually, it carries over the signature features Billy fans love from his iconic Z-One model. For guitarists into alternative tunings, the Reverend Billy Corgan Drop Z supplies optimal tone and comfort.

Longer 26.25" Scale Neck Handles Dropped Tunings With Ease

The Reverend Billy Corgan Drop Z features a longer 26.25" scale neck optimized for dropped tunings so you can tune as low as you want while retaining ideal string tension. This prevents floppiness and allows the strings to still project a focused, articulate tone when tuned down. The extended scale also provides tight and punchy bass response to complement the guitar's naturally beefy voice. Whether you tune down a half or whole step, drop D or even lower tunings, the Reverend Drop Z will sing with clarity and authority.

Alder Body and Custom Pickups Create a Weighty Rock Tone

This signature Reverend guitar gets its thick, rich voice from an alder body paired with a set of special Railhammer Billy Corgan Signature Pickups. The alder generates heightened resonance and sustain for full-bodied tone and singing sustain. The custom wound Billy Corgan pickups feature focused mids and an articulate top end, producing substantial output without harshness. Together, they create a bold, dynamic voice equally suited for crunchy rhythms and singing leads. From punchy punk riffs to walls of alt-metal distortion, the Reverend Billy Corgan Drop Z supplies the meaty tone and cutting presence to rise above a crowded mix.

Roasted Maple Neck Retains Comfort of Z-One Profile

Even with its extended scale length, the roasted maple neck retains the comfortable feel Billy Corgan fans love from his Z-One signature model. Its medium oval profile offers an easy-playing feel, while the roasted maple construction enhances stability and resonant tone. The fingerboard also utilizes roasted maple for smooth, fast playability along the full 24-fret span. The neck heel allows excellent upper fret access as well. Despite the longer scale optimized for dropped tunings, the Reverend Billy Corgan Drop Z remains enjoyable and comfortable to play all night long.

Signature Aesthetic Touches From the Z-One

Visually, the Reverend Billy Corgan Drop Z carries over many of the aesthetic appointments that make his Z-One signature model so recognizable. This includes the striking Korina body wings, the distinctive pinstriped pickguard and Billy's signature on the truss rod cover. Reverend also optimized the electronics cavity for minimal routing. For Billy Corgan fans, the Drop Z supplies his signature model's iconic look along with the enhancements for optimized dropped tuning performance.
