Custom HH '6 Way' Gen2 - HH Strat Wiring Harness

We have built the Obsidian 6 Way HH wiring harness for Stratocaster with TUNEABLE DUAL SC (SPLIT COIL) so you can enjoy the full output and clarity of your humbuckers, AND switch them in to 'Split Coil' mode for lower output, single coil goodness that is fine tunable to your liking.

NEW // GEN 2 UPDATES

To improve on our already super popular Custom HH harness we have

  • Added a tuneability function to the coil split - so you can craft your split coil sounds to be fuller and better rounded, or set them to 'quiet' for a more traditional full split.
  • Easier Install - We have moved the push/pull coil split pot to the second tone control position to get it out of the way of the solderless connector, making for an easier install.

TUNABLE SC (COIL SPLIT) 

Turn your humbuckers in to single coils, and back again. To add true versatility to your guitar we build in TUNABLE SC, to split your humbucker to a single-coil for lower output, more dynamic tones.

We incorporate a Coil Split 'Voice' control, which allows you to fine tune the amount of signal that is sent to ground.

  • 'QUIET' = FULL SPLIT (TRADITIONAL COIL SPLIT)
  • 'LOUD' = SEMI SPLIT (LAMBERTONES SPLIT FOR FULLER SPLIT COIL)

TUNABLE 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

CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE (Treble Bleed)

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.

Fantastic Warranty and Customer Service

Purchased your HH Strat setup. Installed it on my customized "Fender Prodigy" which now makes it a "Fender Stratigy"I wanted only the best for my project and I heard you guys were it. Buttery smooth controls, simple installation, and a clean control cavity. Had some issues early on and you guys were 100% helpful. Thank you ObsidianWire!!

Turned my Fender American Pro II Strat into an HH Monster!

Very happy with the outcome. It was a perfect fit in Fender American Pro II Strat. I used Suhr Thornbuckers with the Obsidian, install was easy, everything worked, and the guitar sounds great.

Finally!

I have a 1998 Fender Big Apple Strat that has always had a disappointing sound. Back when it was my go to I spent loads of cash on pedals, amps, pickups etc... trying to get the thin sound out of it. Nothing helped so I put it away and moved on. Recently I wanted to at least put the original pickups back in it, but wanted to upgrade the electronics. Being as I wanted to be able to swap pickups, if the old ones sounded the same, I bought this baby and all I can say is WOW! She never sounded this good before, I haven't put it down in a week. I loved it so much I bought one for a tele build I'm doing. Thanks Obsidian!!!

Terrific

I bought this wiring harness to go with Railhammer humbuckers, partly because the pickups also needed an upgrade to 500k pots. The simplicity of the coil splitting for an HH setup is terrific, the sound is phenomenal, and the installation was easy enough for a complete newbie to carry off.

Revised review from 1/20/23

Hello - I am the person who left a one star review on 1/20/23. I never did get around to completing this project with a competing product. Then recently I saw that OW had re-engineered and improved the product as I (and no doubt others) had suggested with the push pull pot in the bridge tone position. I went ahead and purchased and installed with no fuss no muss at all. Sounds great and works as advertised. Thanks to O Wire for listening to feedback and improving their already great product line.

HH strat

I found the install would be easier if the connection block faced the other way and not crammed up against the pots, making it hard to know when the cable was in deep enough. Other than that it was a breeze, and the unit works perfectly

Easy to follow with excellent customer support if needed

The HH kit is my second Obsidian Wire product. For someone like me who doesn't want to delve into soldering, this is a worthwhile product. Installation is straight forward. I'm still fairly new with respect to pickup swapping, so after encountering an issue, customer service was able to get me sorted out very quickly. The coil split functionality is great at delivering more sounds. Highly recommended.

This was my first time using solderless electronics, and it was well worth it. I'd highly recommend Obsidian Wire kits.

NOT easy to install

Unlike the folks above I was unable to successfully install this item. Because the oversize push-pull pot is engineered in the first (volume) position it is almost impossible to get any leverage when trying to insert the tiny wires into the tiny slots. Tried for two hours then gave up. Now I will order a harness from someone else and get out the soldering iron. Pretty sad when your install is more miserable than soldering. For the record, I have OW strat blender kits installed on three other SSS strats and never had a problem, they are much better engineered. If you note other strat items featuring a push-pull pot it is in the position of the second tone pot, enabling easy access to the bank of solderless connectors. Not so this one. I would avoid it unless you see it's been re-engineered to have the oversized push pull pot in that second tone position and not the volume position.

I wpuld have rocked 5 stars (sounds frigging great). The issuse was fitment. I had to do some slight modification to both the pickguard and the body (Warmouth Strat body) to get it to fit.

Perfect Solution!

Hard on the heels of my fretless JB build (Fender noiseless vintage/ObsidianWire), I got to work on a strat.

Some time ago I came by a S.Duncan Holdsworth Metal Fatigue (Fender-spaced, bridge position), and took my longstanding NZ friend/mentor/lead guitarist Graham Silcock's advice: SD '59 for neck position.

Both humbuckers are four-conductor models, so the choice was simple: ObsidianWire's custom HH 6-position harness.

With single pole coil-split pull-switch engaged, my instrument is certainly as Stratified as one could wish - without RF interference, microphonics or mains hum.

With either/both pickups in humbucking mode, ObsidianWire's pots/caps are a perfect complement to my reconfigured strat.

Best regards from Philadelphia,
A Very Happy Chappy.

Been hounding them for a year !

I have the Strat blender on o e guitar and it is fantastic. Always wanted to build a "Big Apple" strat and thought they need to build a HH. The install took a little more homework than single coils but it was worth it. The thing is dead quiet and the sounds are great. These guys no how to build great components for guys like me who are not a wiz at complex soldering. . Good job fellas

Strat Wiring Harness

And so I bought the Strat wiring harness for a HH pickup setup and it is outstanding. For years I wired all kinds of pickups myself and took the plunge and bought a harness from Obsidian and I couldn't be happier. The quality of the components is top notch and this guitar is now deathly quiet. They are easy to install once you figure out what is hot and what is ground. If you are thinking a bought buying one, do it. Think less, play more. Thanks.

Every time I use Obsidian Wire I come out extremely satisfied. Very good quality. Very good parts. Very good products. They just need to branch out on guitar styles so more guitars can enjoy the high quality components too.

Transformative Product!

I recently set out to customize my Stratocaster HH set-up. Great product experience, easy install, absolutely incredibly sound. Thank you, Obsidian Wire!

Is this still compatible with humbuckers that don't offer a split coil functionality?

ObsidianWire

Hi There,

Yes it is, however, the push pull function of the second tone control will have no effect.
