    I can't remember how I found "The Creamery" site. I think I was doing a Google search for pickups. But this guitar is kind of blowing my mind. How could butchers block construction effect the tone?

    that looks so cool and unique fretworn, if you got an axe that looks so cool who cares about the tone ?

    Sweet. I'm off to raid the pantry to find a body blank.

    It would be a nightmare working with all those end grains.

    It actually looks like it is only the cap that is squared up like that. I could be wrong and in need of a glasses upgrade...

    Does look like a top and bottom laminate... that said, wouldn't it be harder to work with??? Just thinking - routing a cavity through a 5mm jointed end on grained body...

    There is another photo of it on the site and I think it is butchers block construction all the way through, but it has the binding on the top.

    That jazzmaster with filtertrons is lush.

    That's my favourite in that photo as well. They won't be real filtertrons though as Creamery wind their own custom pickups. They even have single coils that look like filtertrons and weird things like that.
