The overloaded signature sound of Smashing Pumpkins founder Billy Corgan gets even heavier at a full step down with the Billy Corgan Drop Z Signature! Specially designed to accommodate standard D tuning, the Drop Z stretches to an elongated 26.25 inches in scale length and serves up a 24-fret range for a deeper and sonically versatile setup. But throughout the rest of this 6-string, you’ll find appointments that render it virtually identical to its Reverend Z-One cousin, including a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, hardtail bridge, pin-lock tuning machines, and that cosmically retro offset alder body. Also like Corgan’s original signature, the Drop Z offers a natural and supple playability that responds well and feels confident in hand, courtesy of details like a Boneite nut, triple-tree string tree, and a medium oval neck profile. From triple-tracked alternative riffing and heavy-metal flirtation to the gorgeous clarity of down-tuned arpeggiations, guitarists just can’t get enough of the Drop Z!
