Another Obsidian Wire Harness install goes perfectly!

this is my 4th install … two tele's, one strat, one LP (Epi). All went smoothly and quickly. I have installed many pickups and controls by solder and I’m very comfortable doing that. But the ease, quality, and function of using Obsidian is well worth the cost … I get to playing rather than soldering way more quickly with Obsidian. My 2 minor suggestions would be: (1) make the holes in the mounting block a little bigger to accommodate “vintage” cloth wire - seems the wire gauge is thicker and more substantial than what’s on many modern pickups and feeding the twisted wire into the holes is a bit of a challenge; and (2) consider numbering the slots for the holes as in the diagram, just for clarity. Both fairly minor points but would be improvements.

Can't go wrong, works great, sounds great, easy to install

I have installed 4 of these Obsidian harnesses now for several different types of guitars. I'm fine at soldering and sometimes I really enjoy that, but I also really enjoy getting one of these in the mail and doing a pickup swap in minutes. The pots feel and sound great, the switch is consistent and has a solid click to it. The instructions are easy to follow. There's lots of configuration options if you decide to change your mind later. I always find these well worth it and this model was no exception.

Squier Telecaster Upgrade

I used the Obsidian Wire Universal 3-Way switch to upgrade a Squier Affinity Telecaster, and it turned out better than I anticipated. I put a Fender '62 single coil pick up in the bridge position and a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover 4-wire humbucker in the neck position. The tone is unbelievable, clean and clear. The bridge pickup is bright without any hum at all. The humbucker is deep and rich. With the coil split I can get either the traditional Tele neck tone or the bridge and neck tone without any hum.
