Portlander

The VEPR018 is a Veritas Portlander with a tactile Olive Drab Green finish and a direct, stable feel. Finished in Open Grain Satin Olive Drab Green, this build lets the texture of the swamp ash remain part of the instrument’s character. It feels raw, resonant and honest, while the white pickguard adds clean contrast to the earthy finish. Nickel hardware keeps the build elegant and understated. The Portlander platform is all about balance. Chords stay articulate, single notes have definition, and the guitar reacts naturally to dynamics — from clean, open voicings to pushed rhythm work and expressive lead lines. At the heart of the guitar are Veritas’ own BearCats pickups, hand-wound in-house and carefully voiced for the Portlander platform. They are not an afterthought — they are part of what gives these guitars their clarity, touch response and unmistakable Veritas voice. The stoptail bridge keeps the response direct, stable and immediate, adding sustain and tuning confidence while preserving the natural voice of the guitar. Every guitar sold by ToneDistrict is individually inspected and professionally set up before shipping from Barcelona, Spain. No customs. No surprises. Just a hand-built Veritas, available in Europe and ready to play.
