The Porter Vintage Customs get their name because of the blend of vintage style coil wire with modern coil design. We added some new touches and features with this set to provide a more focused tone. The VC’s feature even height and bevelled AlNiCo 5 magnets resulting in a good string to string balance and a focused tone, with a little more output and aggression. We’ve also made this coil a little shorter than our other single coil sets, to give it a unique flavor and a stronger output. The Vintage Custom set comes complete with vintage style grey bottom bobbins, and the bridge position features a steel baseplate to tame some of the highs normally found in that position. We feel the added bridge baseplate is a perfect complement to the even height magnets.
This set is for those who like the vintage tones, but need more power from the their pickups.

I installed these pickups in my 1999 G&L Legacy Strat and the tone and clarity is just superb. I paired the Vintage middle and neck pickups with the Hibrid Plus in the bridge position. As suggested by the ported staff for my tast in music style of playing. The Hibrid sound is very vintage'esk but more robust. I could not be happier!
In addition, to get the most out of these pickups, I would recommend upgrading the wire harness and add more shielding. I also decided to go with a .022uf oil and paper capacitor. Porter has awesome products, highly recommended!
