Custom 7 WAY Wiring for Strat®// Gilmour Mod

The new Obsidian® Custom 7 Way wiring harness for Stratocaster® has had a complete over hall, to make the super versatile 7 Way wiring mod even better. The new upgraded harness retains the '7-way' switching inspired by David Gilmour, but improves the tone control layout, smooths out the tone and volume control responses, and gives you two volume control 'voices' so you can get your guitar setup exactly how you like it.

7-WAY STRAT SWITCH // 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.

'VOICE' SWITCHING

Shape your volume control to your playing style. Match the function of your volume control to your playing style, with a 'Clear' mode and a 'Balanced' mode.

'CLEAR' MODE - Crystal clear tone at any volume level
'BALANCED' MODE - Roll off some highs with the volume control for a smooth transition between clean and crunch

OBSIDIAN® LAYOUT

Tone & volume controls that make sense. We have assigned 'Tone control 1' to the neck and middle pickups, leaving 'Tone control 2' as a dedicated bridge pickup tone control, for balancing the brighter treble in switch positions 1 & 2.

Controls:

Tone Control 1: Middle & Neck Pickup (Works in positions 2 - 5)
Tone Control 2: Bridge Pickup (Works in positions 1 - 2)

7 way Gilmour Strat upgrade

I installed the device in. Squire Strat. The install went as expected. The only modification to the guitar was to increase the pot holes size to 10 mm. The upgrades sound great.

Gilmour Mod

Bought a second one for my Fender Strat after installing one for my Squire CV50 Strat. Love it, easy to change pickups, I like the push/pull pot is on the lower tone pot. When pulled up it’s out of the way from the strumming hand. Sounds better than the stock controls, IMO. Great Design, that’s why I bought two!
