Two Wiring Philosophies in One Kit
The ObsidianWire Vintage MKII is a true evolution of traditional Les Paul electronics. Fully pre-wired and factory-tested, it installs quickly thanks to the exclusive Plug, Play & Enjoy system, without the need for a soldering iron.
Its uniqueness lies in bringing together two of the most sought-after wirings by guitarists: the Vintage 50's and the 60's Plus. You choose the one that best suits your playing style, directly from the electronic kit.
Vintage 50's or 60's Plus?
The Vintage 50's mode replicates the behavior of the historical wiring of the early Les Pauls. By reducing the volume, a slight treble attenuation naturally accompanies the transition between a warm clean sound and a softer saturation.
The 60's Plus mode, developed by ObsidianWire, prioritizes clarity when the volume is reduced. The treble is better preserved to maintain more definition at all volume levels.
Each pickup has its own selector. You can use a Vintage 50's wiring on the neck pickup and a 60's Plus wiring on the bridge pickup, or vice versa.
Even More Versatility with the Dual Coil Split
The Vintage MKII is also offered with a Dual Coil Split option.
Thanks to two Push/Pull potentiometers, each compatible humbucker can be used in single-coil mode, offering more open sounds and more tonal possibilities.
This version requires humbuckers equipped with four conductors.
