I put this Obsidian MK II in my Epi LP Custom. I did have to enlarge the holes for for the pots as they didn't fit without modification as (obsidian directions said). The other issue was the output jack was grounding out. This was a simple correction, simply had to rotate jack 180 degrees. Now the good (great!l the rest of the install using Seymour Duncan pearly gates was really straight forward. This guitar nows sound better than my 3 others which cost much more individually. I will definitely purchase again.

I installed the device in. Squire Strat. The install went as expected. The only modification to the guitar was to increase the pot holes size to 10 mm. The upgrades sound great.

So easy to install! Can’t wait to buy the lollar pickups I want and not have to solder them on. I feel like the tones vary more now and you have much more to choose from. Only thing is the pots are a bit stiffer than the stock ones but that’s ok!
I purchased these for my best friend for Christmas. They seem to be great knobs, but I am left-handed and he is not so we'll have to wait until after Christmas to know more. Everything else I have purchased for myself from Obsidian Wire has been stellar.

The kit worked well with single coil pickups, but not with two humbuckers. Yes, I did turn the switch to HH. Overall, I love the kit.
