Description
Hoagland Custom, located in sunny Fernandina Beach, Florida, has specialized in custom guitar wiring and pickup making for almost 30 years…
& we love what we do!
This is a standard Les Paul harness. 2 volumes, 2 tones, wired to Gibson’s 1953 vintage spec. It features the “Holy Grail” of capacitors – vintage style clone “Bumblebee” caps (they are reproductions & new). It is “drop in ready”. That is, you only need to connect the pickups and ground wire… EASY!
Not everyone needs a new switch so they are available here as an option.

While all of our wiring solutions are built to be installed rather easily, we always recommend that you have a guitar professional at your local guitar shop install it for you. There are issues that sometimes come up during installation (grounding, etc.) and your local guitar tech is equipped to diagnose & handle those for you.
