It's really like that! I am not a very big fan of soldering either, and I am also not really good at it so I am really happy about these new products from ‪@gunstreetwiring‬ as without any compromises to quality and sound, without any soldering skills you can now swap your pickups yourself easily.

These genius innovative wiring harnesses from Gunstreet Wiring Shop left me speechless. Guitar modding and pickup swapping has never been so easy and all without any comromises to the sound. What do you think about it?

Great video,and great mode for any guitar. On top of all improvements it keeps your electronics tidy.
I know how I can be messy when working on my guitars.

Excellent video... BUT... After spending $109 on this I was highly disappointed. Sure, the ability to easily swap pickups without soldering is great. But I was a bit shocked after reading all of the hype on Gunstreet's website to find cheap capacitors, a no name output jack clearly labeled CHINA right on it and a generic no-name 5 way selector switch with a horrible, indistinct feel while switching between pickups, so you either had to look down at where you were setting it or just go by ear. I've played no name $199 guitars with better switch feel. Installed it into a 2019 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster, the overall sound seemed significantly duller, like a blanket was placed over the top of my amplifier. Subtle but definitely noticeable.
The tapers of the volume and tone pots were just odd. Like they had potentiometers that were made with weird custom tapers "just for the sake of doing something weird". I played around with the volume bleed on and off, triple checked to make sure all was hooked up correctly (really no way to screw it up) and it never did sound good. I blame the cheap, no name components. I gave it two weeks and I yanked it out. Easy to install and zero soldering required, but it's just junk components cleanly mounted to a board with pretty wires then connected to a cheap made in China output jack. And it actually made my instrument sound worse. There are 3 other makers of similar solderless harnesses that utilize actual quality parts like American CRL switches, semi-premium capacitors and actual Switchcraft jacks for $20 less than this. This company should focus less on the cosmetics of their product and "Portland hipster" look of their website and actually make a solid product, because this thing was in no way a tonal "upgrade".

Thanks for this comment, I really didn't have any of this kind of experience with these and my strat definitely sound better since this upgrade but it might all be up to individual preferences... I just like it and would still recommend it to anyone...
