I had the 50s coil split previous version, this is better. Specially the pots feel much smoother, and it turns out I prefer the 60s wiring better too.

Super easy to install with vast array of tonal options .
glad I did not pay much for this guard. I have a bullet Strat and took the chance that it would fit since it is an eleven hole guard.the furthest bottom rear screw hole was off by a whole diameter. probably fender doing. so just because you have an 11 hole guard does not mean it will fit on anything but a real Strat !

This upgrade was so easy and has made a tremendous improvement to my tele. Top notch quality components. I will definitely be using Obsidian Wire for any future upgrades I do on any of my guitars.

Loaded a new pickguard with Seymour Duncan, Classic Stack noiseless singles in the neck and middle and a 59/Custom Hybrid humbucker in the bridge.
I normally wire and solder up my own selection of pots and switches but decided to give the Custom HSS Gen 2 ObsidianWire a try in this build. I'm glad I did as its an all quality unit and the push in wire termination works a treat.
Still run a tiny bit of solder on the pick up wire ends so they would not fray when inserting into the terminal block.
If your thinking about trying this Custom HSS Gen 2 unit you will certainly be impressed by its quality build. I wondered how good the spring tension termination would be to use and it was easy with tight good connections.
It took longer to mount the pickups than to connect them. All up probably took me 1 hour to do a thorough install.
