    The ObsidianWire™ Les Paul® Wiring Harness

    The Obsidian® Vintage MKII for Les Paul® is a comprehensive upgrade over stock wiring, that also combines 'Vintage 50's' and '60's Plus' wiring in one product. You can choose between the vintage roll back of the traditional 'Vintage 50's' harness, and superior clarity of the more modern '60's Plus' wiring with the flick of the switch. 

    You get a switch for each pickup, so if you want to run a 'Vintage 50's' setup on the neck pickup, and an Obsidian® '60's Plus' setup for the bridge pickup, YOU CAN.

    We also give you the option to upgrade to 'DUAL SC (COIL SPLIT)' for even more versatility

    'VINTAGE 50'S' MODE

    Allow for some treble roll off when you roll back your volume control for an easy bridge between perfect warm cleans and searing leads.

    The 'Vintage 50's' wiring mod is a super popular Les Paul wiring upgrade that reverts your stock LP wiring back to the glory days, and the beginning of the Vintage Les Paul. This is our most popular and personal favorite Les Paul wiring.

    '60'S PLUS' MODE

    Prevent treble loss when you roll back the volume for greater clarity and cut through at reduced volume levels.

    The Obsidian® '60's Plus' wiring is made for clarity and cut through with an improved circuit that will help you retain treble at all volume levels.

    Love it

    I had the 50s coil split previous version, this is better. Specially the pots feel much smoother, and it turns out I prefer the 60s wiring better too.

    Fantastic

    Love this. The clarity and range of sounds is just unbelievable. Took me a bit longer to install because I had to drill out the pot holes on my Epiphone because they were too small, so just beware of that possibility. Other than that, I would 100% recommend. Worth every penny.

    MKII for Les Paul® (Vintage 50s & Modern 60s Wiring)

    The Item itself works great, The wiring can be tricky, you need patience. It fits "most Epiphones". I have a 2010 Les Paul Standard and I had tp drill out the body, as indicated, and install it backward in order to fit. The wiring diagram are ok. I also included new humbuckers. On those, there is no indication that you need to take off the shrink tubing and separate the black an white wires for split coil operation, but I figured it out.

    Great Buy!!!!

    I bought for my 2016 Epiphone LP Studio. Reamed out the Holes for the Pots and I installed in less than 30 minutes. I suggest ,if you do not have the correct knobs, buy them with this wiring kit. NO Problems at all. sounds Great.
