Roach Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I only get "how to" when i search for the wire I am looking for. I already know how to and have the diagrams, but I am looking for what wire and where to get it for 2000 lp special with hums. It is the wire from the 3-way switch to the volume pots and jack and ground, 4-wires, plus shield i think.This has no wiring harness, straight from switch to pots and jack. I cannot remember if it was braided, like the p/u wires, or if it was something else, but it did have all 4 wires in one covered or wrapped piece. Similar to cat 5 cable but NOT, with much better shielding. I also do not remember if it was copper or steal wire. Where do i get this from? and what did gibson use? and what if anything is better? Not really looking for a kit. Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find it in shorter lengths, at a reasonable price. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dog Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Try this? http://www.stewmac.c..._16_inches.html Yeah but that's the 28awg stuff. Plus, 16" doesn't leave much room for error on a LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yeah but that's the 28awg stuff. Plus, 16" doesn't leave much room for error on a LP. ...and i need allot of room for error hahahaha, Where would i start if I wanted to find this offline? GC says home depot or an electronics store, but I haven't found any that have it. Ill do online if i have to but I would much rather pick it up right away.

Roach Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 If you can find it in shorter lengths, at a reasonable price. Let me know. i did check again at home depot and asked a guy who showed me audio 4 wire shielded with bare ground awg22. It was .34 cents a foot. I am not sure if its the right wire but i got some anyway as cheap as it was for what i need. He said they do not sell the 28awg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
