About Obsidian®
Designing, crafting and perfecting the world of guitar electronics since 2014.
He asked
Surely, there must be a better way?
Spoiler Alert: There was....
THE BEGINING
In 2014, and rocking a day job, Mathew was fiddling with his custom Strat & installing a new set of single coil pickups. As he reached for his soldering iron, he thought 'There must be a better way?'
There was, and it was SOLDER-LESS
He immediately set to, making phone calls and drawing up concepts. His guitar sat untouched, guts out, until the first prototype arrived.
It worked perfectly, and within minutes, a world class set of pro-wired electronics was installed, without a single solder burn, or wretched solder fume.
Mathew decided to ask the world for their thoughts on his new creation. He did as anybody would do in 2014 and asked the the hoards on Facebook, what they thought. He didn't check back in before skipping away on holiday, but returned, to hundreds of responses.
It was fate, and so Obsidian® was born.
NOW
We have since moved out of the spare bedroom
and into a proper workshop, but we are still a family business.
Matt and Caitlin run things behind the scenes,
from designing and perfecting the electronics, to helping players get their
guitars perfected, as well as providing a range of web resources and beautiful
photos.
We also have
three fantastic staff members taking care of producing your new
electronics with world class standards, for world class quality.
The range has grown too, with options for a growing numbers of guitars, and thousands of players around the world, now belting out tunes with Obsidian®.
