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 standard Les Paul style wiring harness. 2 short-shaft, audio taper volume pots, 2 short-shaft, linear taper tone pots, & a Switchcraft mono output jack. It is “drop in ready”. That is, you only need to connect the pickups and ground wire from your bridge. EASY!
It really doesn’t get any easier than this!
Not everyone needs a new switch so it is not included but it is available as an option if you need it.

As not all buyers need to replace their switch, we offer Switchcraft switches (straight-short, straight-long, or 90°) and a Tesi 3-way toggle switch (short-shaft only) as options available here on our website.
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.
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.
