Easy install and the versatility to be able to switch-out pickups without having to solder is helpful.
Just FYI I purchased this for a Sire V5 four string . It fit Perfectly. (Just wanted to let other Sire owners know that it fit; at least my model since there is not a lot of info out there.) Of course it was a pretty simple install and sounded great! This is my second time using Obsidian Wire. First time I purchased the set for an American P bass. This company is my go to for a quick install and great sound!
Bought on eBay for $260.00. Added Obsidian pots & pups.
Sounds awesome & looks fantastic. Had to drill slightly oversized holes in body for good fit… easy if your careful. Everything else fit like a glove.
Didn’t think the copper foil cavity really mattered, I was wrong! saw how the signal flow went and removed the foil, then had loud buzz, retraced the steps and saw I had the output wires backward’s. plugged into the amp and glorious sounds of a Les Paul Standard and a Amplified Nation filled the room! smooth control of the pot’s and the ability to change from 50 to 60 wiring a big plus! I’ll be ordering more soon for my other Guitars.
This was s very simple installation. I did have to increase the size of the holes for the pots but that was not a problem at all.
Two little things: Be very careful when tightening braided pickup wires...it is very easy to over-tighten and short out the wiring
-and-
I replaced the switch shipped with this system - with a Switchcraft switch. Easy to do and only soldering I had to do.
Aside from those two items - very easy and when I was done, it was super-clean in that control cavity. This product is the type that should be in every new guitar.
Aside from me over-tightening the ground screw and the personal preference of a Switchcraft switch - this bit of kit is the best I could find and so simple to install.
