Custom 7 WAY Wiring for Strat®// Gilmour Mod

The new Obsidian® Custom 7 Way wiring harness for Stratocaster® has had a complete over hall, to make the super versatile 7 Way wiring mod even better. The new upgraded harness retains the '7-way' switching inspired by David Gilmour, but improves the tone control layout, smooths out the tone and volume control responses, and gives you two volume control 'voices' so you can get your guitar setup exactly how you like it.

7-WAY STRAT SWITCH // GILMOUR MOD

The sweetest bell like Strat® tone. Play your neck and bridge pickups together for the sweetest bell like tones, or even all three pickups together. The switch is built in to your tone control by use of a push/pull pot, so no extra mods are required to your guitar.

'VOICE' SWITCHING

Shape your volume control to your playing style. Match the function of your volume control to your playing style, with a 'Clear' mode and a 'Balanced' mode.

'CLEAR' MODE - Crystal clear tone at any volume level
'BALANCED' MODE - Roll off some highs with the volume control for a smooth transition between clean and crunch

OBSIDIAN® LAYOUT

Tone & volume controls that make sense. We have assigned 'Tone control 1' to the neck and middle pickups, leaving 'Tone control 2' as a dedicated bridge pickup tone control, for balancing the brighter treble in switch positions 1 & 2.

Controls:

Tone Control 1: Middle & Neck Pickup (Works in positions 2 - 5)
Tone Control 2: Bridge Pickup (Works in positions 1 - 2)

Best solderless harness

This was incredibly easy to install. Great quality components, instructions AND one of my online mates knows the guy who started the company. I’d order another immediately if they had one to fit my SG!

The extra features are going to be extremely versatile once I wrap my mind around using them all.

First time replacing pickups/wiring

Great setup. The only thing that was difficult was getting the wires to go into the wireless socket. With them twisted tight they weren’t stiff enough to easily slide into the setup with the keys fully depressed they still each one had a tough time getting in and staying locked. Once they were the connection seems solid and secure. Sounds great and all the functionality of the volume and tone pots seem to work perfectly. The tone knob is a bit stiff to lift and access the two additional settings. I’d like if it was a bit easier to do of if I was trying to do it on the fly while playing it might be a bit problematic. Sounds great. Got some vintage suhr 63 pickups and they’re great.

Gilmore 7 way

I haven't had the chance to install this on a Stratocaster I'm assembling from all separate parts but I can tell just from looking at the harness and packagaing itself, this will be the same quality in operation as it is in appearance.
