    TELECTASTER® ELECTRONICS FOR HUMBUCKER LOADED TELES®

    We have created this harness especially for humbucker or P90 loaded Telecasters, and made it compatible with single coils, or single coil sized humbuckers as well. We incorporate INTELLIGENT SWITCHING which allows you to get the absolute most out of both pickups, no matter the configuration

    INTELLIGENT SWITCHING

    Optimized for humbuckers & singlecoils When building a Telecaster with a mix of humbuckers and single coils, there is a toss-up between choosing 500k controls, to retain the life of a humbucker, or 250k controls, to balance brighter single coils.

    We say 'why choose? '. So we build in Obsidian® Intelligent Switching to give you the absolute best of both your humbuckers and single coils with a wiring harness that will automatically switch between the two.

    THE MODES

    • HH Tele® (Humbucker + Humbucker)
    • HS Telecaster (Humbucker Neck + Single Coil Bridge)
    • SH Telecaster (Humbucker Bridge + Single Coil Neck)
    • SS Tele® (Two Single coils / traditional Tele® mode)

    CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE

    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.

    DUAL SC (COIL SPLIT) - UPGRADE OPTION

    Turn your humbuckers in to single coils, and back again. To add true versatility to your guitar we build in Obsidian® Dual SC, allowing you to split each of your humbuckers to singlecoils for lower output, more dynamic tones.

    Obsidian® Dual SC is built in to your volume controls using push/pull pots, so no extra mods are required to your guitar.
    - Requires split coil compatible humbuckers

    Bad Product. NO plug and Play!

    After the second delivery by Thomann i have had hopes to plug and play.
    However:
    It will take you hours to get the wires into the miniportals! And once stuck, they simple unlock themselves!
    Then i extended the wires to work more easely! Same problem with the portals.
    The irritation is overwhelming….
    So back goes the second unit!

    POOR CONNECTORS

    Have been busy for hours to get it connected. The bridge pickup delivers a signal, the neck pickup nothing. I have tried all options. No solution! The wirebank is very fragile and wites tend to loosen. Sorry guys, its a return.

    Took forever

    Took me forever, a couple of weeks, but probably my fault. I’m new to any kind of pickup wiring. I’m currently getting a sound out of it. The neck pick up, sounds fantastic, but the bridge pick up, which ordinarily sounded great in the guitar. It used to be in, sounded weak. Going to try your tip of reversing the wires this afternoon and see what happens.
