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!
If you have an Esquire and don’t like that soft, warm tone that the standard wiring puts out, you’ll LOVE this “FULL THROTTLE” wiring harness!
Position 3 on the switch sends your pickup DIRECTLY to your amp with no volume or tone control. You get the full blast, raw, kick-butt tone from your pickup! You can control this with a volume pedal or, of course, the controls on your amp.
This is a VERY COOL MOD!

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, shielding, etc.) and your local guitar tech is equipped to diagnose & handle those for you.
Contact Hoagland Custom with any questions regarding this wiring solution, our custom, handcrafted Hoagland Custom pickups, or any other guitar wiring solution that you might need.
