I enjoyed being able to install product with no need to engage with guitar tech to do the installation and soldering.

Bro I s**t you not, my guitar sounded like it was the same quality of a fender ultra. This blew my f*****g mind! I am truly blown away. Keep up the awesome work Obsidian Wire!

This is the first time I bought this product after countless hours of finding a device that could connect my new pickup to my old guitar.
Finally found this via AI Copilot help.
This is by far a very innovative and extremely easy way to swap pickups on a guitar. No soldering or anything needed.
Product performs well…especially the blender mode.
Wow…. I’m totally satisfied with this purchase.

Very good performers.

There are many manufacturers out there which are fantastic.. obsidian is the best ! Why ? People like me that has “ok” soldering abilities don’t cut the cheese .. in I order to get your pickups to sound the way they are intended you have to be a master at soldering.
Are into bleeds ? This guys have the ones that lose less bass than anything I have try before.. and I been trying them for 40 years🤣
Yes we all know 90% of the sound is in the finger.. right? Well the other 10 is in the electronics . So don’t lose time in soldering … and use it on playing ..God bless

My install was for a Strat build with Fender Ultra Hot Noiseless in the neck and middle and Seymour Duncan Little 59 humbucker bridge. Tried many wiring combinations but the Little 59 was simply too bright. I used the Obsidian wire blender control plate with auto split for position 2, but even the bridge alone was too bright and gutless. Could be the 500k pot? I put it in SSS mode and still the same. Ended up putting the Noiseless hot in the bridge too and tone is as expected.

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.

Nice quality pickguard, but had to sand it quite a lot for it to fit on my MIM Player Tele. Without sanding it would sit over top of the control plate.

Other than that though, awesome product - good price. Obsidian for the win

I put this Obsidian MK II in my Epi LP Custom. I did have to enlarge the holes for for the pots as they didn't fit without modification as (obsidian directions said). The other issue was the output jack was grounding out. This was a simple correction, simply had to rotate jack 180 degrees. Now the good (great!l the rest of the install using Seymour Duncan pearly gates was really straight forward. This guitar nows sound better than my 3 others which cost much more individually. I will definitely purchase again.

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.

So easy to install! Can’t wait to buy the lollar pickups I want and not have to solder them on. I feel like the tones vary more now and you have much more to choose from. Only thing is the pots are a bit stiffer than the stock ones but that’s ok!

I purchased these for my best friend for Christmas. They seem to be great knobs, but I am left-handed and he is not so we'll have to wait until after Christmas to know more. Everything else I have purchased for myself from Obsidian Wire has been stellar.

The kit worked well with single coil pickups, but not with two humbuckers. Yes, I did turn the switch to HH. Overall, I love the kit.

I just purchased the SRV loaded pickguard for a partscaster I’m putting together. I previously purchased the John Mayer, John Frusciante, Mike McCreafy ones too. The quality is top notch and the sounds very, very good on all of them. I think the only left is the Pompeii/ Gilmore pickup. Did I read “buy 4 and the 5th free”???

Arrived quickly, great packaging, nice personalised note, easy to install, very happy with the product. Thank you.

My best friend had a strat he attempted to mod into an HHH configuration almost 20 years and was never able to get sound of it. I secretly borrowed his guitar and installed this in about 20 minutes. Used some pickups he had mentioned, leveled the frets, docked the bridge (per his original plan), and cleaned it thoroughly. It sounds and feels great now. I cannot wait to give it back to him for Christmas. He's going to be very surprised! Installation is painless and having a blender is a fun addition to get a few more unique tones out of it.

Not only is it an upgrade but the sound feels so natural and clear and the overall build is good quality. Totally worth the money and time. Will most likely use this on my future builds. Thank you!

I made a parts caster for my son. The no solder feature is great. Made installation a breeze. I like the fact that if he wants to change the pickups it will be easy to swap them out. Love the 4th position. It adds a little extra to the tele.

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!

This is my second MKII for a Gibson LP and the one thing I wish this came with (both times now) was a second set of washers and nuts for the pots as I've had to elevate the board in the cavity so that the knobs aren't floating way above the body.

Also, the toggle switch doesn't come with a recessed/deep nut for carved top LPs, so I had to swap the wiring and keep the existing switch (because the recessed nut on the stock Switchcraft switch wasn't compatible with this Switchcraft switch - which isn't that big of a deal, but is kind of annoying and it does mean this is not a totally solderless install if you're swapping over from something like this.

Most of that could be interpreted as personal preference, but a kit like this should at least assume some of these things... or at least provide options for these things on checkout.

Bought myself a baritone Squier Tele that just wasn't cutting it. Purchased some noiseless g4 fender pickups and didn't really wanted to solder it in. And having had a great experience with obsidian some years back I decided to give it another go and I have no regrets. Guitar sounds great, minimal noise and the 4 way mod just gold for the amount of gain I am throwing at this guitar. The packaging was solid, the build quality was solid. Everything come in perfect conditions. Will definitely return when the need comes again.

Love my new harness from Obsidian Wire. Shipped out very fast. Instructions were straight forward and it works exactly as expected. Added bonus. I did not realize it came with the output jack as well :)

Great sound easy to install. I will buy another soon….

Good product, well manufactured, good sound..

Adding this drop in harness was pretty easy. The only real hiccup was the holes in my Epiphone LP didn’t match up. Not the fault of Obsidian Wire, my guitar was the problem. Once I got the holes to a point where I could install one of them didn’t cover up completely.

Now as for installing switches and pickups? Couldn’t have been easier. Took me all of 10 minutes. I prefer the 50s wiring, but how great is it that if I choose to use modern wiring I flip two switches. I love the taper of the pots. This is a great and easy upgrade and recommend it over rewiring it. I had rewired to 50s wiring diagram but the MKII sounds much better than my wiring, and I have rewired many guitars successfully.
The only problem I have is the knobs sit high even though I have the unit as low as I can get it., but I can live with that.

Get one, you wont be disappointed!
