Obsidian Wired-Up

Excellent product and reasonable pricing. Installed new pickups on a Player II HSS Strat and this kept everything neat and organized. Biggest problems were finding larger spacers for SD single coils and the Shawbucker II wire colors were questionable because of conflicting online contradictions. OW was indeed correct. Blender really brought out the best of the pups and they complement each other well, especially with the blend capabilities.

Easy Installation - Excellent Sound

This is my fourth or fifth order from Obsidian. Honestly, I can do this myself, but why on Earth would I when the build quality of the Obsidian products is out of this world. I have loved every product. The Blender is no different. I wanted the John Frusciante sound. The guitar sounds amazing. My playing still needs work. Maybe another 25 years of playing and I will finally accomplish his sound/style.

Great upgrade!

I put this in my Strat to repair a bad volume pot and upgrade the electronics at the same time. What a difference it’s made. Blender adds new tones and has made me love the guitar all over again. I had to dremel a small amount of my guitar body where the knobs and switch goes but I have a Japanese ESP Strat so that wasn’t surpassing. Only needed to remove about 1mm altogether, so simple and straightforward.
