TELECTASTER® ELECTRONICS FOR HUMBUCKER LOADED TELES®

We have created this harness especially for humbucker or P90 loaded Telecasters, and made it compatible with single coils, or single coil sized humbuckers as well. We incorporate INTELLIGENT SWITCHING which allows you to get the absolute most out of both pickups, no matter the configuration

INTELLIGENT SWITCHING

Optimized for humbuckers & singlecoils When building a Telecaster with a mix of humbuckers and single coils, there is a toss-up between choosing 500k controls, to retain the life of a humbucker, or 250k controls, to balance brighter single coils.

We say 'why choose? '. So we build in Obsidian® Intelligent Switching to give you the absolute best of both your humbuckers and single coils with a wiring harness that will automatically switch between the two.

THE MODES

  • HH Tele® (Humbucker + Humbucker)
  • HS Telecaster (Humbucker Neck + Single Coil Bridge)
  • SH Telecaster (Humbucker Bridge + Single Coil Neck)
  • SS Tele® (Two Single coils / traditional Tele® mode)

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.

DUAL SC (COIL SPLIT) - UPGRADE OPTION

Turn your humbuckers in to single coils, and back again. To add true versatility to your guitar we build in Obsidian® Dual SC, allowing you to split each of your humbuckers to singlecoils for lower output, more dynamic tones.

Obsidian® Dual SC is built in to your volume controls using push/pull pots, so no extra mods are required to your guitar.
- Requires split coil compatible humbuckers

Specs

FOR HUMBUCKER LOADED TELECASTERS®

This wiring harness is a universal model made to be a perfect set for your humbucker loaded Telecaster, with an added fourth mode for two single coils for ultimate versatility. Just select your mode from the Obsidian Smart switch, and you are set. This harness is the perfect match for you if you have Telecaster loaded with the below pickups:

  • Mode 1. HH Tele® (Humbucker + Humbucker)
  • Mode 2. HS Telecaster (Humbucker Neck + Single Coil Bridge)
  • Mode 3. SH Telecaster (Humbucker Bridge + Single Coil Neck)
  • Mode 4. SS Tele® (Two Single coils / traditional Tele® mode)

Why have different modes?

Humbuckers and single coils have different characteristics that require different things from a wiring harness to really let out their best qualities. The Obsidian® Universal for Tele® harness allows you to easily setup your harness to automatically optimize the controls for each switch position, and thus, each of your pickups. 500k Controls for your humbuckers - Clearer, fuller humbucker output. More resistance through your tone and volume controls means less treble escapes. 250k Controls for your single coils - Balanced single coil spank. The harsh highs of a raw single coil are sent to ground, leaving a harmonically rich but balanced single coil sound. The Four Modes Explained

  • MODE 1: HH Telecaster (Two Humbuckers) Turn the dial to 'HH' for your Telecaster loaded with double humbuckers. You will get an optimized set of tone and volume controls with 500k pots, and a 0.022uf capacitor, for full clear output in all three switch positions. Master Volume & Tone controls: (500k for full clear output)
  • MODE 2: HS Telecaster (Humbucker Neck + Single Coil Bridge Pickup) Turn the dial to 'HS' for your Telecaster loaded with a humbucker in the neck position, and a single coil in the bridge position. You will get an optimized set of tone and volume controls with 500k pots for the humbucker for full clear output, and 250k pots for the single coil position to help tame the excess highs. Switch Positions 1: Bridge Pickup (250k balances single coil highs) 2: Bridge + Neck Pickup (250k optimized for humbucker & single coil mix) 3: Neck Pickup (500k for full clear output)
  • MODE 3: SH Telecaster (Humbucker Bridge + Single Coil Neck Pickup) Turn the dial to 'SH' for your Telecaster loaded with a humbucker in the bridge position, and a single coil in the neck position. You will get an optimized set of tone and volume controls with 500k pots for the humbucker for full clear output, and 250k pots for the single coil position to help tame the excess highs. Switch Positions 1: Bridge Pickup (500k for full clear output) 2: Bridge + Neck Pickup (250k optimized for humbucker & single coil mix) 3: Neck Pickup (250k balances single coil highs)
  • MODE 4: SS Telecaster ( Two Single Coils) Also perfect for Single coil sized humbuckers Call this bonus mode, just in case you ever want to convert your Tele back to a traditional SS, or two single coil Telecaster. This mode will give you a set of standard 250k controls with a 0.022uf capacitor for balanced tone and volume controls. This is also perfect for using single coil sized humbuckers, which are often designed to work best with 250k pots. Master Volume & Tone controls: (250k for full clear output)

CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE

To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we also 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.

Great product and excellent support.

This was the first of 2 control kits I've bought (second was the HSH Strat) and I'm already planning for 2 more. The quality of these products is excellent. I know how to solder and with the effort, could figure out the wiring, but why when you can get something this easy. Well worth the money in my opinion. I had a few rookie questions on both units I installed them and received helpful responses very quickly. Feel good knowing the support is as good as the product. Also great is that I received both orders within a few days.

I got the universal telecaster unit. The terminal only had 8 spaces…yet in the instructions it mentions a 9th. Pretty confusing. I put 2 P90s in…and once I got the hang of it..the hook up was very easy. However…the openings were so small I had to cut the soldered ends of the pups wires because they were too thick. Overall…I am pleased with the install AND NOT having to deal with the mess of soldering!
