We'd love to hear you're personal stance on this one in the Youtube Comments. </p>

<p>We don't often do more business related episodes, but we wanted to let the tone-cast listeners behind the curtain of Porter. There's always a lot going on and many decisions to be made. Above all, we're thankful for the support of everyone who is a part of our Tone Community. </p>

Don't believe what you read on the internet! We encourage the listeners to make sure to pay attention to all elements of the pickup construction when evaluating what they might sound like.</p>
