    Custom 7 WAY Wiring for Strat®// Gilmour Mod

    The new Obsidian® Custom 7 Way wiring harness for Stratocaster® has had a complete over hall, to make the super versatile 7 Way wiring mod even better. The new upgraded harness retains the '7-way' switching inspired by David Gilmour, but improves the tone control layout, smooths out the tone and volume control responses, and gives you two volume control 'voices' so you can get your guitar setup exactly how you like it.

    7-WAY STRAT SWITCH // GILMOUR MOD

    The sweetest bell like Strat® tone. Play your neck and bridge pickups together for the sweetest bell like tones, or even all three pickups together. The switch is built in to your tone control by use of a push/pull pot, so no extra mods are required to your guitar.

    'VOICE' SWITCHING

    Shape your volume control to your playing style. Match the function of your 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

    OBSIDIAN® LAYOUT

    Tone & volume controls that make sense. We have assigned 'Tone control 1' to the neck and middle pickups, leaving 'Tone control 2' as a dedicated bridge pickup tone control, for balancing the brighter treble in switch positions 1 & 2.

    Controls:

    Tone Control 1: Middle & Neck Pickup (Works in positions 2 - 5)
    Tone Control 2: Bridge Pickup (Works in positions 1 - 2)

    Easy to install and sounds amazing!

    I received the harness from ObsidianWire within 2-3 days after ordering.

    Install on my 2004 MIM Strat took about 30 minutes, and it was easy. The quality of the harness is fantastic. The parts are really well made and organized well on the board. The box also has an output jack that can be used in place of what you currently have, and this is also of a very high quality (has 2 opposing prongs that holds the jack in place). The 5-way switch is also of a higher quality than the original Fender one and has a chunkier/firm feel while shifting.
    The primary reason for using this was that the originals had become scratchy and very stiff to rotate. These are a lot smoother to use.

    Tones -
    This gives 2 additional tones apart from the 5 that a Strat currently provides: viz, 1) all 3 pickups at once, and 2) neck and bridge together. I am yet to get to grips with the tones, but there is definitely a difference I can perceive. However, I am not sure if the change in volume and tone while rotating is linear - I could be mistaken because of what I have been used to. More time will tell.

    All said and done, this is a fantastic upgrade. No soldering required and if you want to swap pickups, you just need a screwdriver. Well worth the simplified upgrade.

    After years of soldering controls and not wanted to wait for “Tone Shaper” availability, I thought I would give this device a chance.

    Wow so easy to use with excellent results.

    Delivery was made in just 3 days. How can you beat that?

    This is my 6th or 7th ObsidianWire harness and I love the ease as well as top notch customer service. This is my second 7 Way and both are great. One was HSS and this one which is SSS. Gilmore on both. Beautiful! Can’t go wrong. Thanks guys fo a great product.

    Excellent products but !

    This wiring harness is quality all the way. Fit my partscaster build perfectly and controls and sounds wonderful. The only complaint I have is the push in wiring terminals are a little finicky for instance a very small piece of wire broke off in one and it took me a bit of time to get cleared out of terminal I thought it had rendered this harness useless but my patience paid off and I was able to proceed,
