Electronics designed for all pickup configurations
The ObsidianWire Universal Tele is designed for guitarists who want to install humbuckers, P90s, or single-coil pickups on their Telecaster without having to modify the electronics with each configuration change.
Fully pre-wired and factory-tested, this electronics kit installs quickly thanks to the exclusive Plug, Play & Enjoy system, without any soldering.
Smart switching
Traditionally, a guitar equipped with single-coil pickups uses 250 kΩ potentiometers, while humbuckers generally work with 500 kΩ potentiometers.
The Intelligent Switching system developed by ObsidianWire eliminates this compromise. The kit automatically adapts its operation to optimize both humbuckers and single coils.
This way, you enjoy the best sound balance, regardless of the installed configuration.
Compatible with four configurations
- HH: two humbuckers.
- HS: neck humbucker and bridge single coil.
- SH: neck single coil and bridge humbucker.
- SS: two single coils.
The traditional 3-position switch is retained to maintain the feel of a classic Telecaster.
Integrated Treble Bleed
The integrated Treble Bleed circuit preserves the high frequencies when you lower your guitar's volume.
The sound remains clear and precise, even at low volume.
More progressive controls
ObsidianWire potentiometers benefit from an optimized operating curve to achieve a more consistent variation of volume and tone throughout their range.
The settings are thus more precise and natural.
Dual Coil Split option
This kit is also available with the Dual Coil Split option. Thanks to Push/Pull potentiometers, each compatible humbucker can be used as a single coil, without modifying your guitar.
This option requires humbuckers with four conductors.
