Custom 4-Way for Tele®
Mikey
Great product!!!!

I put the Tele 4 way wiring kit in Player 2 chambered ash along with Fender custom shop Twisted Tele pickups. OMG! this was so easy and sounds amazing!!! Every guitar I own will be getting obsidian wiring kits!!!! No soldering ever again!!!

Obsidian Wired-Up

Excellent product and reasonable pricing. Installed new pickups on a Player II HSS Strat and this kept everything neat and organized. Biggest problems were finding larger spacers for SD single coils and the Shawbucker II wire colors were questionable because of conflicting online contradictions. OW was indeed correct. Blender really brought out the best of the pups and they complement each other well, especially with the blend capabilities.

Awesome Switch (w/ Astrisk)

I love this 7-way switch! It sounds amazing and all the bell and whistles allow for so many different tones. The install was fairly easy BUT I do need to warn about a potential issue some might run into.

I installed on a 2005 Red Squire Strat (Indonesia made) and I did have to modify the body under the pickup. Underneath the switch by the tone knobs are 2 large capacitors and the shape of my control cavity did fit this. I had to cut into the body a little to allow them to fit. It's all under the pickguard and it was easy enough for me but just need to mention it others.

I would 100% do it again! With all of the features and controls, it is absolutely worth it!

MKII for Les Paul® (Vintage 50s & Modern 60s Wiring)
Allan Douetts
Outstanding

Second to none. Clarity sound and tone easy installation perfect fit in all aspects. Very well designed and with best quality parts constructed. I have used at least 80% of my guitars the ones that I’ve built. I highly recommend.

Loving this tunable split feature!

I’m a huge Obsidian Wire fan and use their harnesses in every one of my guitars that can take them. I’ve never been disappointed in quality and features. Installation is fast and fun and it’s great to know for sure that after a pickup install, everything is just going to work without headache. I love to solder, but I’d much rather just get to playing when it comes to my pickups. Obsidian makes it happen. This particular harness is genius. Having the ability to fine tune the split bridge is such a welcome feature and truly does make a difference, giving me much more convincing "single coil" tones out of my humbucker. I'm very impressed by this harness!

Custom Universal for Tele®

Big upgrade for basic guitar.

This was a great upgrade for a basic Tele I built from a kit from StewMac with only basic (alpha pots) components. It has increased the punch, volume and clarity that the guitar had. I will be using Obsidian wiring kits on ALL my builds going forward. My only suggestion would be to improve the clarity of the install instructions as the "universal" version is very different from the vintage version.

ObsidianWire for Precision Bass®
Christos Fragias
FITS MY MADE IN JAPAN BASS PERFECTLY!

I fitted the ObsidianWire Precision bass harness to my Fender made in Japan 2022 Precision bass. And fitted a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups, a Hipshot KickAss bridge, and a set of LaBella's.

The ObsidianWire harness fitted PERFECTLY through wholes in the Fender factory pickguard. No modifications required.

My bass looks, plays, feels, and sounds awesome. Highly recommend!

Knurled Knobs for Tele® / P Bass®
Kathleen Vasey
Love Them!

I used two sets of these for my jazz bass, because I wanted to retain the chrome look that it came with stock. These knobs are much higher quality than the ones that came on my SX Ursa 2 bass, and I absolutely love them. They compliment the new jazz harness perfectly and I absolutely love my bass setup now. :)

So many tones and so many possibilities. Easy to install and change out pickups to perfect your desired tones.
