I started my first Telecaster build with an Obsidian Wire 4 way switch, and it sounded beefy and mean. Perfect for alternative rock or "surf rock" songs like Six-Wave-Hold-Down, but I wanted even more tonal capabilities, so I popped a middle pickup in, and switched to a 7 way Obsidian Wire switch. Now, it sounds phenomenal. Cleans are beautiful, dirty sounds incredible and articulate. It makes my squier affinity Tele sound absolutely incredible. I've got Fender Ultra Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups, and an Ultra Noiseless Hot middle strat pickup, and it gives me the incredible quacky, clean, smooth, and gritty tones I strive for. I'll use Obsidian Wire switches for any guitar I build in the future. Build quality is immaculate and the simplicity for install is beyond measure.
