Porter Pickups Anthem PAF Pickup Set, Raw Nickel
Porter Pickups Anthem PAF Humbucker, Bridge Position, Raw Nickel
The Smooth-Classic is our best selling humbucker set. It goes great in a wide variety of guitars and gives a great range of tones from neck to bridge. The Smooth (AlNiCo 2) humbucker is great in the neck for blues, Jazz chord work. It stays clean without getting too flubby, and has just the right amount of low end. The Classic (AlNiCo 5) in the bridge gives you a great lead tone, and can cover several styles. The middle position is a nice blend of low and high for a snappy tone.

Vintage Tone for Vintage Junkies! All custom options for the Anthems are available at no extra charge (except for relic covers)
The Anthems are our take and tribute to the classic original humbucker design. It’s said that no two PAF’s are the same, and with the Anthems, we’ve put in several elements that have been found in our favorite PAF’s. The end result is a pickup that is balanced well and responds to pick attack, and your playing. The Anthems have plenty of rich harmonic clarity to spare and a killer vintage translation of your playing style.
Our standard wind and specs for the Anthems, and the one we feel represents them well is in the 7-8k range (bridge and neck) and both pickups with AlNiCo V magnets. During our development we tested Anthems with these specs against several vintage PAF’s in order to find the right inspiration for their design.
The Porter Anthem PAF Humbuckers make new guitars sound like old guitars, and give you the vintage tones you hear on the old recordings. They accurately translate your playing and respond well to different guitar, amp, and effect types without losing their clarity and punch.
