I'm trying to assemble a Tele 4 way control plate for a mate. My long term stash of wire has been consumed and I went to Jaycar to buy more. The helpful chap there determined they had examples of everything I didn't need and nothing I did.
So... wiring pots and switch; what is the wire I need and more importantly, where do I find some?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
For passive guitar wiring, pretty much anything that conducts electricity will do the job. Last time I ran out I just took the ends and the outer sleeve off a spare USB cable - four different colours of insulated wire right there.

I have an unopened roll of the stuff RectifiedAmps linked, which I bought for a coffee grinder mod and ended up not needing. You can have it if you want. I have either black or red, or you could get fancy and have both.
I could do a flying letterbox drop on Monday, if you do want either, or both.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
Thank you to Mr. Horner for your kind offer and to messers Lyle and Rectified Amps for recommending a wire I asked about. After consultation with the app on his phone, the Jaycar man informed me it was unsuitable.
Don't ask me why, I don't know why!
So.. a question: Traditionally, a solid core is used. I have been informed this is better suited to high impedance signals. Is this correct? Why is solid core used?

I think solid core was used traditionally as that's what was available. Stranded is more flexible and easier to work with. Probably a bit more durable if you shake the guitar around?
Solid core is handy in an amp as you can bend it to the shape/location you want for the best lead dressing and it will stay there.

Yes I saw this, but you should have slapped him and just bought something - why even ask? if it looks like wire, tastes like wire and quacks like wire - its wire!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
