Very solid piece of kit, and quite easy to install. I like the idea of being able to try out other pickups without soldering. I brought the newly upgraded guitar to rehearsal last night and the rest of the band agreed that the sound is noticeably bigger, more detailed and vivid.
Ordered a set for my revstar, they recommended long shafts, may want to try the pick guard mount, but the long shafts were just a hair too wide for the holes on a revstar element. That being said, I ended up taking it to my luthier to have it installed and he was able to get it working. The pots sound much better than the stock pots and the GFS equipment I was using previously. So they are worth it, just keep in mind if you are using something that isn't based on a Gibson or Fender style instrument, it may require a bit of extra work.

I’m a big fan of upgrading stock wiring harnesses, but have never used Obsidian before. You guys had the only kit that would handle both a single coil and a humbucker in my Tele, so I gave it a shot, and it is so friggin good. The tone on the neck doesn’t suffer at all, the bridge stays nice and twangy, very, very happy with this kid. Highly suggest giving Obsidian a try.
It does what it says, and I was very happy with it.
Only caveat would be if your cavities are shallow, 5-way switch might be a little to big, and you'd need to deepen the cavity, as I had to do.
But other than that everything is perfect.
