Cream T Cream de la Creme Aurora in Naked Whiskerburst, Flame Maple Neck

The original Billy F Gibbons-designed Aurora has here been customised with some more traditional features including a 3 way toggle and tune-o-matic bridge and stoptail. As with the BFGT it has a chambered body but without the BFGT rout.

Beautifully handbuilt here in the UK, this guitar has been upgraded with with Cream T’s Whiskerbucker pickups, which perfectly reproduce the sound of BFG's famous “Pearly Gates” ’59 ‘Burst. Opening with ZZ Top’s First Album, through Billy’s ongoing solo works, the famed guitar sound of “Pearly Gates” is still regarded as one of the fiercest guitar tones in classic blues and rock ’n roll. We’ve also selected a particularly stunning flamed maple top and roasted flamed maple neck, which feels simply sublime! In terms of hardware, we chose aged nickel for the tuners, pickups and bridge / tailpiece for a played-in look.

Thanks to the built-in Guitar-X pickup swapping system, the pickups can also be instantly swapped out for any other swappable set (you don’t even need to unplug the guitar from your amp!). Cream T’s pickups can be purchased Guitar-X mounted, or the mounting system can be purchased separately and mounted with other humbucker-sized pickups of your choice.
