Collection: Loaded Pickguards for Strat®

Performs as advertised! I love it.
Had to do a little carving inside the pot cavity but that was the only thing that kept it from being a "drop -in" install. Great product. I'll be back for more.
Thanks OW

I’m not handy with a soldering iron and this definitely made the process easier. I’m not an experienced tinkerer so I can’t say if it has a greater range of sounds, but it’s certainly not less!

Realllllly helped bring out my neck pickup from muddy to an insane amount of tonal options. It’s like having a pedal on your guitar. Definitely recommend getting this before you change your pickups. You Can get crazy amounts of different tones on one guitar! Gone from barely playing my les Paul to the first guitar I grab. Was going to change my pickups soo glad I changed to this wiring instead.
One thing that I didn’t find in any reviews and I was a little worried about that I can’t believe hasn’t been addressed in any of the videos /reviews currently out there at the time of writing is how great the range of the tone pots are!! All the reviews have been about the volume. If you like to ride your tone nob for lots of different flavours like a LP JR. you’ll love this. The tone pots on this give you a great range and sweep the tone spectrum beautifully. Really is a super upgrade.
Lastly the other thing that’s not mentioned and will save you a lot of time on install is when you push down on the solder-less wiring button to insert the pickup or any wiring into it.
‘You’re not clamping down on the wire!’ When you push the button. You’re opening up the hole to insert wiring and it will clamp down on it when you release the button. So push down on the button before inserting the wire and then release the button to hold the wire in place. It will be a lot quicker and easier and save you the headache if you know this ahead of time.

I installed this hum bucker in the neck of my Tele. Great sound in neck position and an amazing sound blended with my bridge Tele single coil!

I'm really happy with this upgrade. After I watched some videos, I was able to install with minimal difficulty. Great product!

First, I want to start by saying I was very impressed with how fast my order made it all the way from NZ! When the package arrived I was very impressed an pleased with how everything was packaged. I love the look and sound of the the loaded pickguard/pickups I went with and overall I am very happy with my purchase. I would definitely purchase from Obsidian Wire again in the future! My only note would be to include item specific instructions for products. I had some trouble with my install when I ended up following the wrong diagram because I'm not technically minded at all, Once I had someone smarter than me point out I was following the wrong diagram, I was able to get everything working perfectly. Product specific instructions would have been helpful in my case.

I love the custom Nashville 7 way for my Nashville tele. Was easy to install and the instructions great. Love it so far. Especially being able to now get that middle position between the bridge and neck pickup

Great I love my product from you had to modify but works great thank you

Obsidian Wire's Vintage Plus for Strat Gen2 wiring harness is fantastic. It was easy to install and sounds great.

Came sooner
Than expected

Obsidian made it easy to pair the neck humbucker with the single coil on my telecaster. And can also pull on the tone knob for single coil neck tones. The assembly is compact and easy to install.

I chose Obsidian so I could fix a Strat from my youth that’s been out of commission for 20+yrs. No one could figure out the issue, probably a fried board, so I replaced all the electronics with Obsidian just to save the trial and error headaches. It took some fitting due to my particular model, but Obsidian brought the Strat from my teen years back to life and it sounds much better than it ever did before. ...I should have done this years ago. You will not be disappointed with this upgrade. If I have any other needs like this in the future, I’m going straight to Obsidian first.

I am extremely impressed with the product. Plug and play. I will buying again soon. Jason Hoey

I installed in MIM Fender Tele. Super easy installation. Great product!

Easy install into my old Squier Strat. I will have to get another one for my American Strat now I've heard how good this sounds.
