Billy Corgan Ghost Strat Tribute Project

Let's learn about some Fender history and how it relates to Billy Corgan and The Smashing Pumpkins. See how I was inspired to make a tribute/replica of this iconic guitar used heavily during the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness era.

The FB post where Billy explicitly states that the "I Love My Mom" Strat became the Ghost Strat: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...

I think I also referenced some posts on Netphoria and SPFC.org (but I've rarely found message board style sites useful or accurate, as misinformation is rampant on them)

Time Stamps:
0:00 Intro To Bullet Strats
0:39 Billy's Guitar
1:18 My Guitar
3:09 Before
4:00 After

I learned a whole lot from making this video. I was pretty new to editing and it shows, the video is quite rough around the edges. Glad I made it though, and that the response has been mostly positive.
