Yamaha CS-80

Avg price: $55,770.09

In an interview with Premier Guitar magazine discussing the recording of the Smashing Pumpkins' Cyr, Corgan states, "I think it’s fun to play around with guitars that sound like synths and synths that sound like guitars. It’s a combination of a lot of things. I have a famous keyboard, the Yamaha CS-80. It’s the one ELO [Electric Light Orchestra] used a lot. They’re super expensive and they’re hard to get. Whenever you get one they’re almost always broken. So I was using that."
