I wish! Though that guitar was the reason that i bought a Squier black and white strat when i got my electric guitar, because it was what i had seen BC playing. Squier is fenders cheap brand. It looks similar except it has a dark panel along the fret board, not the pale wood.
And can i show my disgust at the fact that the Fender price shows that they make an AVRIL LAVIGNE TELECASTER! Who the hell would waste a telecaster on her!? Does she even play!?

I've been looking at getting a new guitar, and looking at strats too, maybe this is the way to go!!  |

Yeah, I'll be getting one - I'm not such a big fan of the 70's style bullet head headstock, but how could I resist |

Will definitely have to get one of these.....been waiting years for the BC Sig Model. Way overdue!!! Can't wait!! Oh, definitely in Black BTW.  Will be about $2500 - $2700 retail here in Oz, despite the 679 pound price for England. Significant markups on guitars and amps in Australia.  |

Its still a fair price. I mean some (like the Clapton and Eric Johnson strats) can be as high as $4000.
Yeah, the David Gilmour one (released this year) will also be well overdue.

Anyway, has anyone any idea when we might expect them to arrive on our shores? |

I actually think the white one with black pickguard looks teh secks.
would totally think about getting one, but doubt i will.
I was actually thinking of getting the Elvis Costello sig Jazzmaster, although i think they're already pretty hard to come by. No idea how well it'd play but one of the best looking guitars ever imo.

Jazzmasters are awesome. I love that New Wave (or whatever) clean guitar sound, like Elvis Costello, and I really like the early Cure (Boys Don't Cry/3 Imaginary Boys) sound. Very attractive guitars too.

I've emailed Fender Australia to see if they can tell us when the guitar will be available here, and what the RRP will be. Will let you know the outcome....

Thanks for your query. Yes the Billy Corgan Signature Strat is available in Australia.
The RRP is $2699. Please contact your local Authorised Fender dealers if you wish to enquire about ordering one of these great guitars.
So, there you go. Gonna have to start saving those pennies!!! :-)

Jimmy, you are correct, that black on white strat is pretty sexy!

I already own a white strat. So the colour option of which one to get is pretty much decided for me.
