Meaning the skinny red, green, black, white and bare conductors on my "new" DiMarzio X2N, which arrived in today's mail. Looks like some previous owner did nip 'em off a little short, but not insurmountably so.
I'm planning to extend them with nice, neat, soldered and shrink-tubed connections to wires of the same colors (so I have half a chance of knowing what goes where) and gauge.
RadShack Run on Monday! Woohoo! ;D

What I usually do when I put new wires on a humbucker is to use solid wire. I don't know which gauge but something like 4 conductor phone cord. To tell you the truth, that thin gauge stranded wire is frustrating to work with. Ever wire 4 of those to a switch and then you move the switch or bolt it for final assembly, then one of those wires breaks off? It has happened to me. ARRRGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!

I just went and looked, and all but the bare one are stranded. Oh, well, it just adds to the fun. (Not!) Ditto. Been there, done that. Thanks for the tip. |

I think they're likely 22 or 24 gauge. If you can afford a 1/4 inch snip it off & take it with you to RS to compare.
