We are happy to welcome Veritas to Guitars to Be Played! Being just a hop, skip, and jump away, it’s great to have another local builder in our showroom. Veritas has built a loyal player-base of musicians who are after uncompromising quality and inspiring sonics.

Born from passion and built for players, the Portlander is the heartbeat of Veritas Custom Guitars. Inspired by the Double Cut Portlander, the first Veritas model ever created, it was the Portlander that truly took off—setting the standard for everything we build today.

Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, its name is a nod to Portland, OR, just across the river from where Veritas was founded in Vancouver, WA. We carry that spirit forward—bold, independent, and built to perform at the highest level.

More than just a guitar, the Portlander is a sonic powerhouse. Designed for ultimate versatility, it delivers everything from gritty rock tones to searing blues leads, smooth jazz chords to country twang, and even the soaring soundscapes of worship music. No matter your style, the Portlander delivers—every time, in any setting. This is the guitar that put us on the map. And it’s ready to take your sound wherever you want to go.

How Does It Play?

The Veritas Medium C neck has a round shoulder that increases in roundness as you ascend towards the neck joint. Action-wise, the low E string sits just above 4/64” with the high E string right at 4/64”, both measured at the 12th fret. The Jescar 47095 frets are tall and wide enough for enhanced playability and accurate intonation. The rosewood board is quite thick, with the truss rod adjustment wheel peeking through just beneath the 22nd fret.

Weight: 7lbs 14.5oz.
