An increasing number of smaller guitar makers seem to be making their own pickups in-house these days, just like the big guns have always done. Pickup makers more rarely step into the dusty world of electric guitar making – and Cream T is one exception.
Although its production is quite limited, the guitars so far have been anything but. Along with pulling in big star names such as Billy F Gibbons, the company has been championing innovative pickup-swapping with both of its models so far: the flat-topped single-cut Aurora and the offset Crossfire, originally made by UK Guitar Builders and now by a new UK-based manufacturing partner.
