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.

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 neck sports a Medium C carve with the finish sanded down on the back for the perfect worn-in feel. Part of the undeniable Veritas recipe is the thick slab of rosewood used, a decision Casey made for its tonal properties. This is a good point to mention that he also rounds the fretboard edges very nicely.

The string action measures right where we like it for low action on a classic feeling guitar... barely a hair over 4/64" on the low E string at the 12th fret and right at 4/64" on the high E. There is no fretbuzz, and the spoke wheel truss rod adjust makes adjustments a breeze.
