I'm not a fan of soldering so I decided to give this solderless harness a try in my new partscaster. It's a very crafty design, there is a small dial which you can use to set the desired resistance for each of the pickups separately, either 250K (single coil) or 500K (humbucker).
Instructions were quite simple, but after I assembled everything I got no sound. I checked every connection with multimeter and disconnected and reconnected everything. It took a while to find the problem: the output jack connector is very tight and there is a step before the input jack is in place. I thought I had the cable connected because of this, but in fact it was only in the first step and I had to push it ever further down.
Aside from the unusual input jack design, my only complaint is the quality of the quick connector for the pickup wires. It doesn't feel too sturdy and if you try out new pickups often, it might not last very long. The switch also has a bit of play in the lever, but works well enough.

This is the harness for you.
I wrote a rather neutral review for Obsidianwire earlier this year (for single cut harness) because of too soft of pots and mediocre 3 way toggle switch.
This time they nailed it. The cap is 0.22nF, which I like a lot for single coils and not many suppliers provide S or T type harnesses with 0.22. Plus, you can go 500K or 250K with pots. You can even assign 250 and 500 to different pickups thanks to the clever circuit. This is a very flexible and usable harness. Switch, output jack and solderless terminal are of good quality.
Important points that are not mentioned in the product description:
The pots are split shaft but solid shaft ferrules are included in the package! Which is a very good thing as you can use your screwed in standard tele knobs.
And switch screws are also included in the package. This is a huge bonus again. Switch tip was included in the single cut harness but is not included this time.
Overall, I like this purchase. Many thanks Thomann for carrying all this kinds of stuff.

Habe mir das vorverdrahtete Bestellt da ich keine Lust hatte alles selbst zu verlöten. Faulheit kostet eben :)
Erstmal zum Umbau. Also die Anleitung die dabei ist, ist wirklich sehr einfach gehalten. Man sollte sich das ganze nur genau anschauen. Ich habe versucht die falsche Schaltung zu nutzen bis ich gesehen habe das es ja verschiedene Möglichkeiten gibt. Naja Augen aufmachen ;)
Alles eingebaut und getestet. Kein Rauschen und ein wunderbar klarer Ton. Ich bilder mir ja fast ein das es tatsächlich etwas besser ist als vom großen F.
Ich werde es für zukünftige Umbauten aufjeden Fall wieder kaufen! Klare Kaufempfehlung!

I ordered the pre-wired one because I didn't feel like soldering everything myself. Laziness costs money :) First of all, the conversion. The instructions that come with it are really very simple. You just have to look at the whole thing carefully. I tried to use the wrong circuit until I saw that there are different options. Well, open your eyes ;) Everything installed and tested. No noise and a wonderfully clear sound. I almost imagine that it is actually a bit better than the big F. I will definitely buy it again for future conversions! Clearly recommend buying it!

J'ai voulu tester ce kit sans soudure ; C'est un 10/10 pour moi, tout est de qualité et le rendu sonore est à la hauteur de mes attentes. C'est un poil excessif niveau prix mais sur le long terme, je crois que ça en vaut la peine.
