Description

Hoagland Custom, located in sunny Fernandina Beach, Florida, has specialized in custom guitar wiring and pickup making for over 25 years…
& we love what we do!

This is a 2 humbucker Les Paul style harness. 2 volumes, 2 tones, and setup to phase-reverse the bridge humbucker.

Phase-reversing a pickup is either reversing the polarity of the magnet field or reversing the winding of the pickup coil. Since it’s easier to reverse the winding direction of the coil by switching the negative for positive and positive for negative, that’s what we are doing here. There is more information about phase-reversal and a good video showing what it sounds like here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWq3v7DV7Zk

It features a long-shaft push/pull bridge volume control, a CTS long-shaft neck volume control, and 2 CTS long-shaft tone controls.

It is “drop in ready”. That is, you only need to connect the pickups and ground wire… EASY!
