Massive, Leaping Tone for Solos and Leads
The Reverend Billy Corgan Z-One more than meets the needs of its namesake's fiery brand of gain-drenched guitar goodness. Much like Corgan's flagship Reverend signature model, the Z-One combines the best of vintage and modern designs into a bona fide rock machine. To start, its alder body lays a warm and full foundation, with a slight midrange bump for a chunkier, thicker overall sound. Its maple neck and fingerboard are snappy and silky just as expected, perfectly paired with Pin-Lock tuners and a hardtail bridge for top-notch tuning stability while you bend and squeal madly on stage. Corgan's custom Railhammer humbuckers adorn the Z-One, ideal for solos and leads where a clean-cutting yet clear tone is crucial. Strap on the Reverend Billy Corgan Z-One, and channel the style and substance of one of Chicago's finest alt-rockers!

Custom humbuckers for a thicker, smoother sound
If you're a fan of any of Billy Corgan's musical ventures, the Z-One dishes out the same searing heat and screaming power that accompanies his scintillating solos. To deliver just that, Reverend loaded this signature 6-string with a pair of Corgan's custom Railhammer Z-One humbuckers — Sweetwater guitarists welcomed the waves of full-bodied tone these pickups dish out, commanding audiences with amp-pummeling aggression yet smooth enough for absolute clarity. Reverend's lauded Bass Contour Knob makes its way into the Z-One, a passive bass roll-off that not only tightens your low end, but also revoices this guitar's pickups for even greater versatility. You also get a treble bleed circuit that preserves your high end when you roll back your volume control along with a sturdy Pure Tone jack, the "Cherry" on top of this rock-solid signature guitar.
Top-of-the-line hardware
When you dive into the Billy Corgan Z-One, you'll find high performance in every component. This guitar's Reverend Pin-Lock tuning machines lock your strings in place for out-of-this-world tuning stability and lightning-fast string changes. A patent-pending triple-tree string tree features an extended bar that holds down three strings at a time with a single tree. You'll adore how this string tree safeguards against G-string buzz in the guitar's nut slot. You also get a string-through-body bridge with stainless steel saddles for percussive attack, maximum sustain, and a solid tone that takes off like a rocket.
