How to Install an Obsidianwire Traditional Vintage Plus for Tele

[@jacksolomon451]

I have a setup to finish, one body to paint and seal, two entire guitars worth of tele parts to deal with, and I still watched this entire video. It was like a soothing burrito for my soul.

[@landonbailey]

ha! have fun

[@joelewis7072]

Laughing in my coffee this morning watching this before morning work out...😄😄😄😄☕

[@davedavem]

Dear Landon, Today I had to pull all the weeds up and trim a tree and a bush in my front garden. I did this wearing industrial strength noise-cancelling earbuds. This video, for me, started out as a chuckler, but soon moved into the realms of chortler, tickler, then full-on belly-laugh inducer. Thanks. Now my neighbours think I'm insane. From Dave. P.S. I just bought Pete Honoré's purple Squier purple strat. Yes I said purple twice. I think you'd like it. But you can't have it, because it's mine. However, you could buy one the same as mine.

[@landonbailey]

haha that's awesome!

[@DennisJPolson]

You know we will watch! Really interested about getting an Obsidian kit!

[@mrfatbobrider1969]

Cool support New Zealand guys

[@paulwilson8367]

Only because I have a scientific mind and the hands of a surgeon...I managed to wire it backwards the first time. Duh, so when the tap test didn't work, I put this video on and simply made sure I had it oriented the way yours was. The holes are so tiny, I normally like that, but I got none of the wires inserted on the first stab. My hands blocked my view and then I remembered the headlights my wife gave me (no, not "those") and with that strapped around my head, I could see! This time the tap test worked. Don't know if my old neck pickup was bad or if the switch was bad, but now everything works. New strings this afternoon. Thanks for the videos!!

When you caught me watching this on the toilet it reminded me to courtesy flush. My wife thanks you.

[@wingdwolf56]

I don’t usually start watching videos on the toilet, but I ended up there! Always entertained! Thanks!

[@landonbailey]

it used to be magazines or newspapers, just tech evolving....

[@SirCarrington]

I've been looking for a good ASMR guitar electronics video for a long time. Finally! The world needs more content like this.

[@landonbailey]

me too, make to share it when you find some :P

[@losangulos]

Make to share it? Ive never heard that expression its totally chill

[@vpsaravia]

We need more companies producing kits like Obsidian.

[@azbababooey]

Your title is quite appropriate, because I will watch all of Paul Rudd’s KZbin videos! Love this channel!!

[@landonbailey]

Glad you like them!

[@tatialo37]

So calming...

[@landonbailey]

shhhh... 😁

[@dafud77]

man, i could have watched this on the toilet. But noooo, i gave you the respect and actually had on my sennheiser headphones!! I want my 17 minutes back! :)

[@reyesfreudenthalpablo8457]

I honestly can’t understand, how you made this video so engaging. Even though i love your regular stuff, this was good. Also, good puns.

[@landonbailey]

I have no idea, and actually had no plans to make a video with this. :)

[@Ottophil]

I love soldering. I do it all day for work and still come home and do it for fun

[@landonbailey]

Same here! Except the exact opposite! :P

[@johnjacks5599]

I am done watching your videos!! Until next time, when I watch your video.

[@landonbailey]

Please do!

[@sandeeppaul8130]

Duuude!! That's so f***ing creative. I'd add you in the top 10 list ❤️

[@Wabin22]

I only read the title and decided that I wasn't gonna watch the video, but just go in here and let you know about it :) And give you a like and support the channel at the same time ;)

[@landonbailey]

Thanks for that!

[@davidgluskie8620]

It's soon good I bought the vintage Tele 500k kit

[@christiansakai]

I'm literally watching this in the toilet right now...

[@Steven_SK]

Landon... I got a box in the mail today just like you got! I thought I would follow along and with you and everything you did was wrong! Now I’m getting mad..... I thought you knew how to do this... oh wait! Mine was for my Stratocaster! Good video uh for a Tele.

[@flyingformation1878]

Great video - it feels like a bedtime story ! ...and makes you dream about guitars!

[@wilkowilkinson4864]

Love your Channel Landon - but I can't help thinking that if you broadened your horizons to include The Performer, Professional, Ultra etc and Custom Shop versions of Fenders guitars, your subscriptions would sky rocket as you are one of the only reviewers of guitars with a super cool sense of humor. I know you self fund your review guitars and videos but is it worth reaching out to Fender and Gibson etc to review and return their models. The cheaper end of the guitar spectrum only captures a limited audience appeal and you deserve a much bigger platform, as reviewers who are as entertaining as yourself are pretty scarce. Hope this rambling comment makes some sense and keep up the fantastic work.

[@landonbailey]

hey there! I've actually done videos on pro series, custom shop, and higher end stuff. Although they were a few years ago and performed poorly at the time, I'm for sure interested in trying some again in the future. Try running a search on 'Custom' on my channel. I've reached out to Fender and other companies, but they don't respond :) cheers

If you're buying ObsidianWire products from within NZ you need to use this URL: tonelounge.co.nz/guitar-wiring/ Just be sure to tell them that Landon Bailey (aff-3) sent you. I don't know if the affiliate thing works with ToneLounge but it can't hurt to mention it. (I'm not affiliated with ObsidianWire, I just got this URL after I tried to order from the international site and couldn't. After i sent an inquiry through the international site they emailed back and said to use ToneLounge. I'm in NZ too.)

[@davidriel7805]

Just purchased an obsidianwire kit for my Squier Strat! You’ve been very inspirational. I know now that i can do this!! Ha. Any tips???

[@landonbailey]

hey cool. Just take your time and use a small flathead screwdriver to push on the release buttons. that's it!

[@amritchail8836]

Would these work for a Squier Affinity Telecaster?

[@tatialo37]

Probably, not much different except for the pot size.

[@thorn_ziegler]

Just got one. Now I have to decide which one gets the upgrade. Luxury problems.

Obsidian is a Volcanic glass or it's from Star Trek The Obsidian order :-) good kit Landon thank you

[@landonbailey]

cool stuff! confirmed

[@Riverwind25]

I guess we all own the Obsidian Kit manual now. If you own a cat you won't have to put it on the guitar just pretend you work on the guitar and it will position itself. If we want to use that cloth, will you mail it so we can do it? Just asking for a friend. That was very relaxing

[@markmilner842]

I feel like a zen master. Or a lululemon yogi. Or something.

[@darrelloxford7101]

What are the pots are they 250 k or 500 k

[@landonbailey]

they are 250K in this case. They also sell the 500K version

how come theres an extra black wire to the left near the output jack, ive only got 2 and 3 for bridge, 3 for neck

You should have shown the minute and second hand of a watch on your bench to show it was real-time, so that it was easier for us to tell exactly how long each step took. Now I’m going to have to rewatch with a stopwatch and notepad.

[@landonbailey]

I didn't even know there was a camera recording

[@ccjmusic]

Landon Bailey wow, so you kept changing the sizes of things to make them easier to see, impressive!

[@landonbailey]

that's just your eyes adjusting to the images

Hey man I have a quick question . I'm installing an obsidian wire 4 way switch on my tele , I got as far as connecting the pick ups to the assigned places and the output Jack as well but idk where to connect the other cables (I'm also installing gen4 noiseless pickups) this is the 1st time I do this to any of my guitars. thanks in advance

[@landonbailey]

they provide a good guide in the manual. should show it all in there (I assume they are spare ground wires?)

[@jxruthless]

@@landonbailey yeah they're the spare grounds. I accidentally removed all the grounds from the guitar (I got a little too excited)

Couldn't watch your video because advertisement was not removable. Pretty scummy move.

I have KZbin Premium so I don't see ads. What are you referring to?

[@hydroman99]

After watching a while I got high and restarted video. Thanks Justin Trudeau.

[@decomputerleraarable]

Your tips are much to expensive. 80 Dollar, just because you hate a bit of soldering? Us hobby-guys can't afford that. Yes, if I was a professional (with big gifts from companies....) Rob

[@landonbailey]

everything isn't for everyone. I can appreciate that. I buy that majority of what you see on here, so I'm not sure what the big gifts refers to.

[@decomputerleraarable]

@@landonbailey What I see from the other youtubers, they recieve a lot of stuff for commercial purposes. I guess it will be the same with you. Rob

Sorry, but that was stupid. Try the camera on the other side, and omit the voice over.

[@landonbailey]

why are you sorry? there's a wall on the other side

You won! This is the worst video on KZbin! I was hoping for a good instructional video on Obsidian installation. Instead you provided a feeble attempt at a comedic video.
