Happy with result.

Overall, I'm very happy with this product. It does provide a wider and blended (you control how much) tone variation over the basic 5-position switch. A minor complaint is that - to me - the blender knob works backward from the master volume and tone. That is, if I want more tone or volume, the knobs are turned in the same direction. I would think "blend" would work the same, but it's opposite - full on is zero blend, knob turned off is full blend. Also, I ordered a Univeral blender and was following the wiring diagram until I realized my connector had 14 pins vice the 10 on the diagram. A double check of the box revealed I received the Gen 2 version which has the the 14 pin connector. The instructions say "Easy but not Instant". I'd call it "Do-able but fiddly and plan on installing it twice before you get ot right".

This is my first build using top shelf components and I could not be more pleased with this quality product. Professionally boxed and well packaged the postage was also amazingly fast. I will be a return customer.

Still banginn along

Had this installed for about a yer now. Still functions exactly like i want and puts out some really good tones. The easy installation makes this a no brainer. Yes, it costs a few bucks, but its worth it.

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!!!

I only could install this onto a pick guard and do a tap test, When I actually get it put together with a beautiful Strat with a mohpgany neck with a ma[le fret board I will give more pf a review. The tap test went well with some old ceramic pickups.

From a good Strat to great Strat

Bought the 7 way Gilmour mod to put into my 2017 Mexican standard Strat. Added a whole new dimension to the sound. So pleased with the mod and would highly recommend it to any Strat owner. Fairly easy to install with no soldering. The harness comes with a new input jack which I also installed. I did struggle to get the new jack wires to lock into the block, but managed it eventually. All in all, well worth the money.

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.

Seems ok

Works as described.

My Ears Really Like These

Hey there folks.
I wanted to give a quick review on this pickup based on my last 30 days of usage. I put these in my 1996 Les Paul Studio.
The original pickups were 490R and a 498T. Don't get me wrong, the stock pickups are good but I always found them to be too dark for my liking.
I put these in along with the JP pots found on this website and to my ears they are amazing.
These pickups are clear but have a warmth to them. They are not dark and dank, but they don't have a super bright chime. I think these are really a great middle ground for magnets and tone.
I have always found many Les Paul pickups to be too muddy for my liking. Not all, but many seem to be.
I tend to gravitate towards a brighter sound (not necessarily a lot of treble, but rather clarity) so I can shape the tone with different effects and pedals. I am not a pedal junkie by any means, but I know the tones and sounds I like.
I really like the dynamics of these pickups at differing volume levels rolled back from the guitar and they take OD and dirt pedals really well.
These pickups seem to have a more even frequency curve and cut the lows and highs. At least to my ears anyway. There is still plenty of sustain to be had here, and it didn't take away from the characteristics from my guitar. The pickups seemed to balance the tone a bit.
So far, I really like them and they have helped keep me coming back to this guitar to play. I have enjoyed getting to learn the dynamics and controls.
I hope this helps in some way. The cool thing about playing the guitar is that it's a life long pursuit. So it's cool to experiment a bit.

Easy assembly

I like the no solder aspect and easy pickup switching. It didn't take long to assemble. I'd like to see the ground block in another location or a terminal block instead, that took the longest, trying to get 3 wires in that block.
