Billy Corgan Anyone?

[fendarchy]

Hey Kids
So I played the fender Billy Corgan Stratocaster and LOVED it of course.
He owns my fav. guitar sound ever so naturally i wanted to take it home...
Yesterday I ended up getting a jap 72 reissue and a the whole corgan assembly of 3 dimarzio humbuckers bc1, dual bc2 and superswitch. I blocked the trem, shielded the cavity, set it up w graphtech saddles, orange drop caps, treble bleed circuit, coil tap on positions 2 and 4... did it all.
It sounds legit needless to say. all the best parts are there. punch sustain juice zip and just the right amount of raunchyness with no hum.

I've always been into the loud high gain metal realm pickup. I think i own everything that seymour duncan makes and the lace sensor red will always hold a place in my heart...
Something is telling me its time to cross over... a change of heart...

To sum things up
I need help finding the right single coil.
I am selling the corgan assembly (look for it in buy/sell)

I need my first great set of single coils.
they dont have to be noiseless. they just have to be full of character. they have to have snap, pop, spank, and quack. something real straty. custom shop? non-fender?

Ok you single-coil-die-hard stratocaster crazies... hit me

Nice one fella!

I just bought a strat for corgan modding also. Thinking of going Siamese Dream and getting the lace sensor rig. What do you say?

Corgan always had this great, HUGE sound with his strat.. from what I rem, his main strat in the Siamese Dream days was the 1954 AVRI with the blue paint and bats.. red/blue/silver lace sensors

I really liked his sound from the pisces iscariot b-sides album.. mu-tron bi phase and the very rare fender blender..
