Which type of wire for 3-way toggle on Les Paul?

[TCW]

Hi All,

What type of wire do you recommend for a 3-way toggle switch for a Les Paul? I don't think there's room enough for more than 2 metal sheilded wires to go through the passages in the guitar...and I think I need four wires total for the switch. I was thinking about the cloth or rubber coated types, but I'm not sure if these provide adequate sheliding.

Thanks!
Tom

I use the same wire as used on 4-Conductor pickups. It is a bit lighter gauge than used on the original wiring but is readily available. We stock it or you can get it thru Allparts or Stew-Mac. It's probably available many other places as well. You want to use something shielded for sure.

Lenzite---it fits, and it lasts at least 62 years, in my experience.
