Unlucky - you’ve just exposed yourself to Pumpkins camp, the FBI will be knocking on your door pretty soon.

The 12 string acoustic would have been nice to own. I think that's the guitar from 2000 tours they did Glass & Ghost Children with?

Are we really expected to believe he went through all the 100$ rack effects himself? Billy Reverb 2.0 looks more like the stuff someone had bought for him but was never used.

Them Strats are supercool tho.

Imagine if Paul McCartney sold his Beatle Bass to spite fans for living in the pass.

I couldn't believe those marshall jmp1s went for 5k. They're great preamps but what a damn ripoff.

I completely forgot about that!

Didn't he pay $15K only for Billy to bail asap without even paying the check? I seem to recall a digeridoo being involved.

Didn’t his first Reverb list of things have details like “this guitar was used on such-and-such album/song?” This one has the blandest details—makes it seem like most of it was never used on anything.

The certificate has a WPC logo but certifies the item was owned by Billy Corgan. Proper b0lly nonsense LMFAO
