The good news, guitar now sounds amazing. Better than when new and the 50’s/60’s switching is great. I chose the 50’s but good to know I can change anytime. Both sound great. Once you digest the installation guides it’s fairly easy to install and wire even for a first timer like me. Note - the video is misleading. It isn’t clear that you need to ground the bare wire on both Pups but you do. My cavity was also routed such that the fixed position of the push/pull neck volume pot circuit board didn’t fit. I needed to remove some wood to get the board in.

Every step of this experience has been amazing!!! Received John Mayer loaded pick guard in Australia incredibly well packaged, four business days from placing the order.
Install was quick and simple and believe me, I’m not gifted at hands on repairs or upgrades etc.
The result?
Stunning….. My Mexican strat is now my #1 guitar…..
I will be back for more, going to swap out in my American made HSS strat too.

Ever since I discover Obsidian I never look back, all my basses are equipped with em, and now I had the chance to install one on my first J bass and just as expected, greatest quality, amazing value, and I can safely say the greatest upgrade you can do on your instrument
Thank you Obsidian
