Description
Hoagland Custom, located in sunny Fernandina Beach, Florida, has specialized in custom guitar wiring and pickup building for over 25 years… & we love what we do!
This is a 2 humbucker style harness. It features a 5-way lever style switch that splits both of the humbuckers.
You MUST have 4 or 5 wire humbuckers that are splittable for this wiring harness to function correctly.
It features 2 short-shaft volume & tone controls and a 5-way lever style switch. (Think Tele wiring)
It is “drop in ready”. That is, you only need to connect the pickups and ground wire… EASY!

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.
