Hello guys and gals ,
Is there 4 wire with bare ground (in total 5 wires I suppose ) is there any wire I can salvage from other products like old microphone cable or similar to use to replace short lead wires to re solder pickup ? I've heard people using usb cables and doubling them up because there a bit thin but I don't like that

ANY ONE KNOW SOME GOOD WIRE I CAN CUT FROM AN OLD CABLE TO USE FOR
SOME DUNCAN pups ( 4 wire with bare Ground) ?

Any thing I can repurpose and recycle ?
Anything BESIDEDS Cat .5 cables or Ethernet cable I HAVE A LOT OF OLD ELECTRONICS AND DONT WANNA CUT EVERY ONE TO FIND A PIECE OF WIRE

obviously need to be gauge 20-24 22 would be the best

THANKS

I know I can buy it but I'm looking for something that I can use today and not have to have shipped I found 4 pickups with the leads cut too short in my garage I wanna test them and see how they sound

Plus it's cheaper to get it from reverb.com 8 feet for 5 bux I wanna re use the wire I have I just don't know what other products they use the same wire so I don't cut a bunch of wires and have to re solder when I don't find the right one ya know?

I used CAT5/6 Ethernet cables for my pickup wiring ...lol. I supposed that if they are good for high speed gigabit network connection, they are more than adequate for electric guitar....:feedback:

Yeah I just regular wire at radio shack in single wires and shrink wrap and color code it that way I guess I'd still be interested reusing old wire it's not like the wire is only used for pickups I know they use the same exact wire in garage door openers but I only have the one garage door working I don't think it would be a good idea to looses good to gain a pickup well actually f#%£ my door I need to jam today!!!!
