ObsidianWire™ builds custom Pro-Wired™ pickguards. We also put together some of our favorite combos and give them names, that are inspired by the player than inspired them. The artist does not endorse these products, and these are not made to be replicas.... they are made to be better.

This is also the perfect upgrade for anybody looking for pure vintage Gilmour Strat® tones, with the added versatility of being able to play your neck and bridge pickups together for the sweetest bell like sounds you will ever hear

    The Wiring

    Custom 7 WAY Wiring // Gilmour Mod

    This is our dedicated loaded pickguard for the Obsidian® Custom 7 Way wiring harness with '7-way' switching inspired by David Gilmour. It also features improved tone control layout, smoother tone and volume control response, and gives you two volume control 'voices' so you can get your guitar setup exactly how you like it.

    The 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.
