Cream T Polaris HSS in Antares Red, Flamed Maple

Building on the solid foundation set by the original Cream T Aurora 6-string electric guitar, the Polaris steers an alternative S-Style route, coming with a 25.5” scale, Medium C shape neck and compound 12”-14” radius fretboard. The deep build quality is just as you’d expect from a hand-build UK-made guitar, with a AAA-grade flame maple top, Obeche body, and Roasted Flamed Maple neck. Three Cream T Polaris HSS pickups provide superlative tonal performance. These are harnessed by a 5-way switch and trick Hot Switch which sends the humbucker signal straight to the output.

In terms of hardware, Gotoh’s outstanding 510 Tremolo bridge has been installed, complemented by locking Gotoh tuners. Below the surface, CTS pots, Cream T Oil & Paper caps and a Switchcraft Jack ensure reliability and tonal purity.
