Key Features: Vintage Plus ‘Gen2’ – Stratocaster® Electronics Kit The new Obsidian® Vintage Plus Gen2 for Stratocaster® has had a complete overhaul to ensure you have access to the absolute in best Stratocaster Electronics. The new upgraded harness retains the traditional five way switching, but improves the tone control layout, smooths out the tone and volume control response, and gives you two volume control ‘voices’ so you can get your guitar setup exactly how you like it OBSIDIAN® LAYOUT Tone & volume controls that make sense. For the ‘Gen2’ model we have assigned ‘Tone control 1’ to the neck and middle pickups. This leaves ‘Tone control 2’ as a dedicated bridge pickup tone control, for balancing the brighter treble in switch positions 1 & 2. ‘VOICE’ SWITCHING Match the function of your volume control to your playing style. Match the function of the volume control to your playing style, with a ‘Clear’ mode and a ‘Balanced’ mode.’CLEAR’ MODE – Crystal clear tone at any volume level’BALANCED’ MODE – Roll off some highs with the volume control for a smooth transition between clean and crunch SMOOTH CONTROL An even tone and volume control taper all the way from zero to ten. Obsidian® tone and volume controls incorporate carefully selected and custom-built components, as well as our own clever mods to smooth out the taper of your tone and volume controls, so you get a more even roll off all the way from zero to 10. TRADITIONAL 5 WAY SWITCHING The Obsidian® Vintage Plus for Strat® Gen2 retains traditional ‘5-way’ switching with a high quality Oak® ‘5-way’ switch. Switch Positions: 1: Bridge 2: Bridge & Middle3: Middle4: Middle & Neck5: Neck Specifications: Traditional 5-Way Switching: The Obsidian® Vintage Plus for Strat® Gen2 retains traditional ‘5-way’ switching with a high quality Oak® ‘5-way’ switch. Switch Positions: 1: Bridge 2: Bridge & Middle 3: Middle 4: Middle & Neck 5: Neck Improved Tone Control Layout: ‘Tone control 1’ is assigned to the neck and middle pickups. This leaves ‘Tone control 2’ for the bridge pickup, for balancing the brighter treble in switch positions 1 & 2. Controls: Tone Control 1: Middle & Neck Pickup (Positions 2 – 5) Tone Control 2: Bridge Pickup (Positions 1 – 2) Switchable ‘Voice’: The Obsidian® Vintage Plus Gen2 wiring harness incorporates a volume control ‘Voice’ switch. This switch is built directly on to the harness, and will sit inside your guitar. The ‘voice’ switch allows you to customize how the tone and volume controls affect your over all tone. The best setting for you will depend on your own personal preferences, so we encourage you to try each option to see what works best for you. To get started: Voice 1: ‘Clear’ Crystal Clear Tone Voicing 1: ‘Clear’ incorporates an Obsidian® Custom Spec Treble Bleed Mod. This prevents ‘muddiness’ at low volumes by allowing high frequencies to pass freely through your signal chain, rather than being stopped short at the volume control. In this setting, your tone and volume controls will work completely independently of each other, and your volume control will be super smooth from 10 all the way through to zero. Obsidian® Custom Spec Treble Bleed Mod Crystal clear tone at all volumes Independent tone & volume controls Smooth volume control taper Voice 2: ‘Balanced’ Smooth Transition from Clean to Crunch Voice 2: ‘Balanced’ removes the Obsidian® Custom Spec Treble Bleed Mod and re-arranges the order of the tone and volume controls. This setting allows a slight treble roll off with the volume control. The advantage: This setting allows you to roll smoothly from ‘Clean’ to ‘Crunch’ with the use of the volume control. The design is taken directly from our extremely popular MKII wiring for Les Paul®. The tone and volume controls also become more interactive, with each affecting the other, just like a Vintage 50’s Les Paul® Smooth Transition from ‘Clean to Crunch’ Interactive Tone & Volume Controls Removes Treble Bleed Mod Components Potentiometers: Obsidian® Custom CTS 250k Pots (+/-10%) Split Shaft / 24 Spline Capacitors: (150 Series Polyester Film 0.022uf) (+/-5%) Switch: Oak® 5 Way Selector Switch Jack: Pro-Wired Switchcraft J11 Mono Compatibility: Fits: Fender® Stratocaster® – Direct Fit // Right Hand Guitar Only Fits: Squier® Stratocaster® – Widen Control holes to 10mm & replace knobs Knobs: Requires US spec 24 spline knobs Pickups: Built for three single coil pickups Does NOT fit: Left Handed Guitars // Any guitar not described above

ObsidianWire Custom HSS / HSH for Strat Gen 2 pre-wired kit

ObsidianWire Custom HSS / HSH for Strat Gen 2 pre-wired kit ObsidianWire Custom HSS / HSH for Strat Gen 2 pre-wired kit OPTIMIZED FOR HUMBUCKER & SINGLECOILS When building a Strat with a mix of humbuckers and single coils, there is a toss up between choosing 500k controls which will retain the life of a humbucker, or 250k controls which will tame the harsh highs that are inherent in single coils. We say ‘why choose? ‘. The Obsidian® Custom HSS has some clever wiring, which harnesses the power of a 5 way superswitch, and a couple of extra resistors to add new life to your humbucker, as it sees the 500k controls that it deserves. Move through the switch positions it and automatically switches back to 250k for the single coils, so you still get the full and clear rhythm and spank that Stratocasters® are famous for. Furthermore, when you move your switch into the two pickup switch positions the humbucker coils split, with one of them pairing up with the middle pickup for a traditional second position Strat tone.

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.
