True Vintage '54 Wiring Harness for Strat

Based on the original '54 Strat wiring, this is the true vintage 50s re-production wiring harness for your Stratocaster. Compared to the Obsidian Vintage Plus set, you will get more interactive volume controls (warmer sounds at lower volumes), greater clarity and output from the bridge pickup and an increased range of treble roll-off from the tone controls. 

INTERACTIVE VOLUME CONTROL

The volume control on the '54 Strat rolls off treble with volume, so your sounds gets warmer as it gets quieter. This can be the perfect solution for very easily rolling between rhythm and lead.

WIDE RANGE TONE CONTROLS

The '54 Strat came with one tone control for the neck pickup and another for the middle pickup. They ran through a 0.1mfd capacitor and 250k pots, which allows a greater range of treble roll off than the modern Strats that usually run off a more limited 0.047uf or even 0.022uf capacitor. Leaving the bridge pickup with a tone control reduces its capacitance load, resulting in slightly more treble and overall output for a brighter sound.

5-WAY SWITCH

The original '54 Strat used a 3-Way switch. We have huge amounts of respect for Leo, but we think he got this part wrong, so we use a 5-Way.

CONTROL LAYOUT 

1: Master Volume
2: Tone Control 1 (Neck Pickup)
3: Tone Control 2 (Middle Pickup)

CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE

To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we also include an Obsidian Custom Spec Treble Bleed Mod. This prevents tone 'muddiness' at low volumes by allowing high frequencies to pass along a separate path to your amp, rather than being stopped short by the increasing resistance at the volume control.
