Super Easy, Solder-less Install
All Obsidian® Pro-Wired™ Electronics are super easy to install, and allow for solder-less pickup changes with Obsidian® Plug, Play & Enjoy connectors.

The Obsidian® Vintage Plus wiring harness for Telecaster® is your traditional three way wiring harness with some Obsidian® mods to improve the sound and play-ability. This is the Tele player who likes to keep things simple, with a more balanced volume control that retains highs at lower volumes, and a smoother tone control.

CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE

Retain clarity at lower volumes. To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we include an Obsidian® Custom spec treble bleed mod. This prevents tone 'muddiness' at low volumes by allowing high frequencies to pass along a separate path to your amp, rather than being stopped short by the increasing resistance at the volume control.

SMOOTH CONTROL

Even tone and volume control all the way from zero to ten. Obsidian® tone and volume controls incorporate carefully selected and custom-built components, as well as our own clever mods to smooth out the taper of your tone and volume controls, so you get a more even roll off all the way from zero to 10.

I was a bit anxious about installing it after seeing the instructions but it was incredibly easy, and the end result was amazingly clean sound, great controls.

I would love to review this but unfortunately it is still sitting at Auckland airport and has been since the 12th.
So when and if it arrives I will update you with a review.
Mean time I have a half finished guitar.

Game Changer! 5+ Stars.

I’ve been building/wiring custom/concept guitars for years and this product is a game changer for me. In my opinion, the concept, design, execution, and functionality of this product infinitley surpasses any/all other pre-loaded control solutions.

At first glance, it appeared a bit pricey. But when I considered the cost of combining the highest-quality components with the time it takes me to create/wire something like this, I see it as a VERY clear value.

From matched CTS pots, cold-war era caps, treble-bleed filter, to a genious plug-and-play termional that allows for easy alterations, this product rocks!

It is also so well designed and elegant, with such a small footprint, that it leaves ample room for my “messy” wiring. :)
