From a small workshop in Manchester that looks more like a cross between a second-hand bookshop, a set from 'Delicatessen' and the kind of place "where the old man lives", he crafts one-off individual electric guitars, effects pedals & pickups by hand. Each guitar is unique; no two alike.
All pickups are hand fed & scatterwound on a Heath Robinson type contraction that does the job beautifully. All scratchplates are custom-made for each guitar, all bodies are cut, routed, sanded, finished and oiled by hand. Even give each one a loving polish with a dry lint cloth before cracking a mini-bar sized bottle of Single Malt over the hull and letting it set sail. On a dry day, you may even see Jaime drag all the tools out into the alleyway and set-up bench on the cobbles, the buzz & clang of the router harmonising with the bell of the off-licence door and smell of the chip shop that wafts, Lowry like, over these northern terrace roof.
To see Jaime's guitar go to www.at-the-creamery.co.uk and check out some of his beautiful creations down below.
Thanks Jaime again for all the help it is very very much appreciated.
