Porter Pickups

Here are a few quick photos of work in progress on my thinline style guitars. The spalted maple front model (hanging in this photo, and has yet to get its danish oil to make it pop! It is also semi hollow, but has no F hole obviously. I am putting a set of custom Porter gold foil 'hamburger' PIckups in that one - or I could also put a set of the RailHammer Black Hyper vintage in (with Coil Split 3/W switch Bourns 500k ITW .022). The other ribbon mahogany guitar has a Lollar gold foil set coming today in a loaded pickguard. The third is made from one piece of Walnut I will be posting up photos of after I finish the body sanding tomorrow. If someone is interested in the Splated Maple thinline Telos, I am working the 25.5 scale neck now, so it can be any profile and thickness if you get to me soon enough.

From my photoshoot for the website and store...

Example of my premium build certificate (the figured Walnut with 30th Anniversary Lollar Limited Edition Pickups/Electronics). This one has almost ever sound you can imagine in an electric by splitting, combining and shaping the pickup configuration. I am excited to share this one next week!

I will have 3 models initially. The 'Telos', 'Stratos' and 'Kestrel'. Pickups, electronics and even the bridge on some of these can be switched out, and of course I can build custom to the customers spec. Website is not up yet, just some AI goofiness until I launch the first 6 builds. I will also have audio samples of each guitar (yes, that is kind of important ;-)

So you have an idea on how special these guitars are. This Figured walnut cap/cherry back guitar on the left (my Stratos model)...features a Lollar 30th Anniversary limited edition loaded pickguard which likely is more expensive than any guitar I have ever owned by itself! Wait till you see the quarter-sawn walnut neck on this beauty. I will post my Build Certificate above.
