I bought the loaded pick guard to upgrade my old Squier Strat, which I have had for over 15 years but was getting a bit tired. The package came with extraordinary speed from NZ to the UK. The install was amazingly quick and the no-soldering electronics worked seamlessly. The guitar looks and sounds reborn. Couldn't be happier with it. Thanks Obsidian wire!
I used the Obsidian Wire Universal 3-Way switch to upgrade a Squier Affinity Telecaster, and it turned out better than I anticipated. I put a Fender '62 single coil pick up in the bridge position and a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover 4-wire humbucker in the neck position.
The tone is unbelievable, clean and clear. The bridge pickup is bright without any hum at all. The humbucker is deep and rich. With the coil split I can get either the traditional Tele neck tone or the bridge and neck tone without any hum.
Extremely happy with this setup! Great company to deal with, very helpful with any questions. Top service.
Installation was easy. Somewhat slower than I was expecting. However the prospect of simple pickup swapping compensates for everything
