That'll work. I use a 20 gauge, shielded, myself. It might be a little bit big, but it works.

standard cable is going to be anything between 20-26awg braided copper. i just use cheap 22awg braided copper from radioshack myself, it's the right balance between size and flexibility for wiring up a guitar.

How about for "extending" the wires of the pickups?
I have a couple of Duncan pickups whose wires were cut way too short for where I'm going to them now.

IIRC, those are 26awg braided, but i could be wrong. imo the best thing to do would be to get some extra 4 conductor wire and replace it.
