I've a 2012 Fender US Deluxe Strat with the S-1 switching and noiseless pickups. After a pickup swap the sound improved but discarding the S-1 switching and moving to the Obsidian Wire Gen 2 HSS harness has totally transformed the sound of this guitar. Not only is it quieter, the sound is clearer, sharper, more sensitive. You can hear each string distinctly. I just can't believe the difference this has made. I feel like this is the way that this guitar was always made to sound. I have no idea why Fender are not fitting these as stock to their US guitars.
The quality of the harness is excellent. Took a few weeks to arrive in the UK from New Zealand but no messing around with taxes.
So far not good. But Obsidian team is working with me to change the amount of stars.
Such a nice modern setup, easy install. Striping the wires was probably the hardest thing I did.
Nice and neat. Nice soldering seems well built. Couldn't use because of pot difference spacing but decided to keep for a different build.
I purchased loaded pickguard with Tonerider TRS1 Pure Vintage for a Squire Stratocaster (SSS). The installation took about 45 minutes (add time for cleaning/re-stringing). This is a super easy install/upgrade and my guitar looks and sounds great (much improved).
