Veritas Portlander | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 40

This week on Golden Age of Gear, Derek & Joey sit down with a stunning Veritas Portlander custom build — a guitar that blends boutique craftsmanship with unique player-focused specs. From a wenge neck and custom burst finish to the kind of details only a small shop can pull off, this Portlander has us asking: is it better to spec a guitar exactly how you want, or let the builder do what they do best?

The pros & cons of custom-spec guitars ⚖️
