Cream T Guitars Aurora Standard 2PS Noche 2021 Electric Guitar w/ Extra Pickups

This is a Cream T Guitars Aurora Standard 2PS Electric Guitar in Noche finish. Made in the UK in 2021, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Gotoh Tune-o-Matic bridge, Gotoh SXb510 Open-Backed tuners, and a set of removable Billy F Gibbons Whiskerbuckers with Relish mountings. These pickups are wired to two volume controls (push/pull split coil), a master tone control, and a three way pickup selector. A set of Cream T Bangers and Mash pickups with Relish mountings are also included in the sale.

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the ‘59 LP Style profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, whilst its 12” radius ensures a nicely flat and consistent playing surface right the way up the register. The single cut LP body style provides extended access to the upper register, allowing the player to make the most of this stripped back ‘plug in and play’ workhorse.

One of the most interesting and unique features on this guitar is the ability to remove the pickups effortlessly using the Relish mounting system. This allows the user to swap pickups in and out of their guitar to explore different tones and combinations without having to rewire anything. The Billy F Gibbons Whiskerbucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The Billy F Gibbons Whiskerbucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output, providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.

The additional Banger and Mash humbucking pickups set included gives you the option of easily switching them with the current pickups in the guitar thanks to the mounting system. The Banger and Mash pickups, inspired by Keith Richards, was to create a humbucker out of two vintage NoCaster pickups. From this idea Cream T created the Banger and Mash. The neck is warm and round, with plenty of power to push your solo tones to the front of the mix. The bridge pickup is of course brighter and hotter, saturating into a full-bodied distortion tone which is well suited to rock riffing and rhythm parts.
