Hand Made Guitars, Custom and Boutique Guitars and Hand Wound Pickups
Tone in the Making We make our guitars and pickups by hand. We believe that the hand made construction of instruments and pickups makes a difference in tone and the overall quality and value of the instrument. We hand select all the woods for each guitar made to assure your instrument is made with the highest grade and best sounding tonewoods we can find. Our guitar models are meant only as a starting point for your custom options. No more off the shelf guitars. You get to choose colors, woods, and more. The end result is more attention to YOUR instrument so it's just the way you want it. We don't roll guitars off an assembly line, we build instruments.
"My goal with Porter Guitars is to offer quality made guitar that is customizable in many ways to fit your style and sound." -Brian Porter-
