Porter Classic Humbucker Zebra - 4 conductor
Based in Boise Idaho, Porter pickups makes a wide variety of pickups to fit almost any guitar and style of playing. The Porter Classic humbucker is their take on early Gibson humbucker tone using Alnico V magnets for good low end attack and clear treble response. Wound in the mid-7K range there is plenty of clarity and airiness around the notes. Sits sonically somewhere between the Duncan Jazz and '59.
In the words of Porter Pickups:
Porter Classic Humbucker Pickups offer a great vintage tone that is nice and warm, but distorts smoothly. They feature a AlNiCo V magnet, and can be wound to your specs depending on the output you are looking for. The pickups would match with any type of guitar from solid bodies to hollows. The Classic Humbuckers provide a nice clean sound in the neck position, and a good cut through tone in the bridge position without being too shrill. Try a Classic with a little overdrive, or a cranked amp and it will go from a nice break-up tone, and clean up as you roll the volume pot down
