Flex-Series Wiring Harness for HSS, HSH, SSS & HHH SuperStrat & Strat Style Guitars

 

Intelligent Switching:  Four 'Modes' (SSS, HSS, HSH, & HHH)

Easily optimize the wiring for your pickups.

  • SSS / 250k  For three single coils or most single coil sized humbuckers
  • HSS / Intelligent Switching (auto switches between 250k & 500k)
  • HHH / 500k For any pickup where more treble and output is required
  • HSH / Intelligent Switching (auto switches between 250k & 500k)

ObsidianWire IGNEOS™ Firm Grip Pots

ObsidianWire® IGNEOS™ guitar pots are the new standard for pro-grade guitar wiring.

  • Durable Design - for years of trouble free use
  • Firm Grip Turning - For a solid feel and secure settings
  • Fine Tolerance - Guaranteed to spec +/- 10%

CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE (Treble Bleed)

Retain clarity at lower volumes. To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we include an Obsidian® Custom spec treble bleed mod. This prevents tone 'muddiness' at low volumes by allowing high frequencies to pass along a separate path to your amp, rather than being stopped short by the increasing resistance at the volume control.


Tone Control & Upgrade Options

 - PURE OUTPUT - No Tone Control

Maximize clarity by losing the tone control - Tone controls cause output loading even when they are wound to 10. Removing the tone control completely means you avoid the tone suck, for clearer fuller tone.

- SMOOTH TONE CONTROL 

Add a custom designed master tone control using our ObsidianWire designed, CTS built IGNEOS™ pots, for a smooth and useable tone control taper.

 - 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.

 - DUAL TUNED SC (COIL SPLIT) 

Turn your humbucker(s) in to a single coil, and back again. To add true versatility to your guitar we build in DUAL TUNED SC, to split your humbucker(s) to a single-coil for lower output, more dynamic tones.To keep your single coils sound full and vibrant, we use Tuned 'partial split' technology, for higher output sound with fuller mids, than is possible with a full split.

  • Requires split coil compatible humbuckers

Two Shaft Length Options: 

 - Short Shaft: Pickguard / Control Plate Mount Only
