Hoagland Custom Handcrafted "Stevie Ray Vaughan" Style Stratocaster Wiring w/ Orange Drop Cap

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 Stratocaster wiring solution built with high quality parts and crafted by hand. This wiring harness will give you great service for years! We only use the highest quality parts for our wiring harnesses.

This SRV Style Stratocaster wiring harness is modeled after the Fender® Custom Shop “Stevie Ray Vaughan” model guitar.

According to what we’ve been able to find, his choice of pickup values are as follows:

Neck & middle – custom wound to 6.6k (which is about a 10% overwind)

Bridge – custom wound to 12.9k (which is about a 215% overwind!)

We custom wind pickups as well so, if you are really looking to get close to the SRV tone (and who isn’t?), a set of SRV pups wound to spec will help!

Will buying and installing this wiring harness make you play like SRV? Of course not. Will you be able to get the same tone out of your Strat that he gets? Not without his fingers on your hands. Will it make your guitar sound better than it does today? Absolutely.

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 a lot of variables (pickup brands & types, shielding, grounding, etc.) and your local guitar tech is well equipped to solve any installation problems you might have and get your guitar sounding it’s best!
