I had really nice upgraded electronics in my 60th anniversary American Strat, but wanted to check out the Gilmour mod and super glad I did, really opened up new tones that I’ve been looking for. I do still like the taper on the other volume pot better, smoother control, but otherwise surprisingly satisfied with the system, I can’t stop playing! Highly recommended, AAAA++++.
Put in a 60th Anniversary American Strat and I play through a Blues Jr IV with BillM modes and upgraded Celestion G12H Heritage greenback.
I purchased and installed the Vintage '3-Way' for Tele® × 1 Loaded Control Plate.
I had no experience replacing controls in a guitar.
The kit ( including the instructions ) exceeded my expectations. The instructions are well written. The kit was easy to install. The controls work great!
I highly recommend this kit.
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.
Really nice and neat loaded jazz plate, Sounds great
HHS Loaded Pickguard for Strat
ObsidianWire™ Universal Blender G2
ToneRider® THE ALNICO II - TRS4 & (AC2 NICKEL)
I am partial to the versatility of the HSS configuration and wanted to bring life to my SSS guitar. (USA 2009 Fender Standard Stratocaster). This universal blender harness made it even more versatile with the ability to blend neck & bridge pickups to taste, bringing tonal capabilities to a minimum of 9 tones. The quality pots allow you to find the sweet spot in just about every configuration. Plus, I really needed a tone bleed circuit. The ToneRider® pickups are absolutely amazing and have a clarity and articulation that totally achieves that "sound" I've been yearning for. The sound that makes your eyes close in sheer satisfaction.
The build and the components used feel extremely high-quality and you can tell someone put a lot of love putting it together with it's intricate lines and precise wire cuts. Everything down to the switch and provided PureTone output jack just scream quality. Better yet, the shipment only took less than 7 days to get to my doorstep. That's over 12,000 kilometers my friends.
The installation only took me about 25 minutes to perform, simply by following the provided instructions. I'm not a very technical person, but I can follow directions. If I'm being completely honest, the most difficult and time-consuming part of the install, was the removal of the plastic from the pickguard and humbucker after the fact. Again, be slow and methodical about it. Go grab a scotch neat, and chill. Overall, ObsidianWire® gave me an exquisite experience from the unboxing to strumming my first chords, pure magic and delight. I guess my only complaint now is that all my other guitars will be closet queens. Thank you ObsidianWire® for everything!
