Went to see the smashing pumpkins this week in London. Awesome 3h15m show from start to end! You can see the entire show on YouTube if you like by searching for their Seattle 2018 show.

I saw their third guitarist playing a guitar that I could not identify:

Anyone any idea which guitar this is? Ok think it looks awesome and it sounded great as well so :)

Wasn't that the generic knockoff brand for a big eurozone retailer?
Yeah, it's the "house-brand" of thomann in Germany. Those guitars are really cheap but they seem to get really good value for money reviews.

I first thought it was a Yamaha because he endorses them or a Reverend because billy Corgan has his signature model there now (which is also a really cool guitar).

Ok this is kinda awesome, I just found out which guitar he's playing.

It's a Yamaha prototype (with SD pickups) to be released next year:

"For the majority of this show, I’m playing a prototype that hasn’t come out yet… they’re still developing it and talking about releasing it next year. It’s a 25.5 inch scale, bolt-on guitar with an alder body, maple neck, either a maple or pau ferro fretboard, a two-point vintage tremolo with locking tuners and a graphite nut. I use a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and usually a single coil-sized humbucker in the neck, like a Hot Rail or a Fast Track.

“It’s a very classic-rock, SuperStrat type of sound. That’s my wheelhouse right there - I feel very comfortable holding a hot-rodded Strat with Seymours. I kinda realised that the JB has been on more records I love over the years than any other pickup. There’s so much stuff out there, it’s really easy to get overwhelmed with gear. I wanted to go back to square one with a more foundational look at my tonal tools.”
