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!
