The Creamery – Packaging the Handwound Pickups

Here’s the rough first mock-up of the new pickup packaging. When you buy a single pickup it will come in the new ‘cigarette pack’ style box. Maybe I should have vending machines in your local guitar shop – just swipe your card and take a pack.

I’m on course now for the site to launch at the end of May – Everything is in place, just testing the online shop and hoping to record some demo videos.

Win a set of handwound Classic Alnico 5 Humbuckers!

Win a set of handwound Classic Alnico 5 Humbuckers.

I’m giving away a set of my handwound pickups to one luck person who’s joined The Creamery Facebook page that I’ve created. I’m planning to launch my new guitar, effects pedals & pickup store in April and once that is up and running, the first name pulled from the hat will win the pickups, regardless of where they are in the world.
