About

Porter Pickups Started in 2008 with the development of pickups for a previous business, Porter Guitars. Our pickups quickly caught on with players who were looking for custom wound tone and cover options. We started Porter Pickups out of a love for tone and to help others find that elusive sound they have been searching for.

Hand Wound 
Every pickup from Porter Pickups is hand wound. Part of the reason for this is tradition by making pickups how they used to be made, and part of it is the advantages it can offer the customer to have a pickup custom wound specifically for them, tailored to their styles and with the materials we believe will best achieve what they are looking for. We feel that our process of hand winding pickups results in a truly custom product, which also has our touch put into each pickup we make.

Every Pickup Can Be Customized
Our models of pickups are meant to be the starting point for the customers options. We don’t have dozens of pickup models, but we do have several custom options available with each model and pickup style. Each model of Porter Pickups includes several color, cover, or bobbin choices. We can also make a bridge pickup hotter in a set, or wind one of our vintage clone pickups to a specific year all included in the pickup price.

Even More Choices with the Porter Custom Series
Our first pickups in the Custom Series are the Anthem PAF clones. The goal with Porter Custom Series pickups is to provide even more options with our pickups. There’s always something in development for the Porter Custom Series pickups, and it’s the place where new models and pickup types are released. Stay tuned for more from the Custom Series!
