I need a small length of pickup connector wire to extend a connection that will let me split a pickup. Anyone know a good source?
 
Re: Need pickup connector wire

For a really short bit of wire, almost anything within reason will work. Hack up an old pair of headphones or a busted up appliance and use that wire. I've done it before with no issues.

Do you need the 4-conductor full monty? Or just a piece of wire? Either way, PM me. I'll send it to you.

Alternatively, do you have an old Ethernet cable? That’s multicore like pickup wire.

I buy short sections of 4 conductor wire from stew mac. problem is ,the shipping will probably cost more than the wire
 
Re: Need pickup connector wire

Just about any wire will work.

Computer power cords are usually 18 gauge inside.

Also, many hardware stores sell a wide variety of wire by the yard or meter. Cheap. And, with the vintage-flavouring exception of cloth wire on expensive single coils, realize that there's no such thing as "guitar wire", and the likes of stewmac just repackage a generic multipurpose product at +1000% markup

that StewMac shipping gives me pause. I have had better success with Philadelphia Luthiers . com . They are very good and their shipping is half of Stew's
