    CUSTOM 4 WAY WIRING HARNESS FOR TELECASTER®

    Fourth Position = Humbucker Mode ~ Requires Three Wire Neck Pickup Mod

    The Obsidian® Custom Telecaster 4-Way wiring harness for adds a tasty fourth switch position to make your Tele scream. The neck and bridge pickups are able to work in series to provide a more powerful humbucker like tone. You can use this position for stronger rhythm and screaming leads.

    Your Telecaster will retain all of the traditional switch positions, and the familiar master tone and volume controls. 

    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.

    SMOOTH CONTROL

    Even tone and volume control all the way from zero to ten. Obsidian® tone and volume controls incorporate carefully selected and custom-built components, as well as our own clever mods to smooth out the taper of your tone and volume controls, so you get a more even roll off all the way from zero to 10.

    Amazing Performance

    Not only is it an upgrade but the sound feels so natural and clear and the overall build is good quality. Totally worth the money and time. Will most likely use this on my future builds. Thank you!

    Love it!

    I made a parts caster for my son. The no solder feature is great. Made installation a breeze. I like the fact that if he wants to change the pickups it will be easy to swap them out. Love the 4th position. It adds a little extra to the tele.

    Upgrade and Mod All-In-One

    I decided to upgrade the stock pots, switches and output jack for my Classic Vibe 50's Telecaster and realized that I could do the 4-way switch mod at the same time. The Obsidion "Solderless" with a new plate and knobs was the perfect solution. Easy to install, and sounds great. Highly recommended!!!
