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!
A VERY versatile Telecaster wiring harness!
A 2 single coil pickup Telecaster with a 5-way switch… in-series & in-parallel as well as in & out-of-phase switching!
WOW!
The two additional & new combinations offer hum-cancelling because they use the two single-coil pickups as a humbucker. And, armed with these two new combinations, you’re ready to rock the crowd! Both pickups in-series/in-phase will give you a very fat and loud solo tone – perfect for both clean & overdriven lead tones.
Both pickups in-series/out-of-phase don’t sound as shrill and thin as both pickups in-parallel/out-of-phase (that’s the sound you might associate with “out-of-phase pickups”), so it’s useful for clean tones, as well. And it’s perfect for full-tilt distortion or fuzz orgies, because it prevents the tone from getting too boomy by reducing the bass frequencies. To cut through the mix while playing with Queen, Brian May used this tone a lot on his Red Special guitar for his heavily overdriven lead tones.
