Wire question

Post by kevrockitt » Wed Jan 05, 2011 10:26 am

Hey...I have a chance to get a good deal on some cloth covered wire. Here's the dilemma. The 22aug is stranded but the solid core is only 20 aug. Which way to go?

Save the cloth covered wire for your Fender clone build :wink:

Sorry that was not meant to sound facetious.

I am a traditionalist in these things and use standard plastic or thicker ptfe wire on the Marshalls, except for the bus wire where I use the coated braid type.

Push-back cloth makes me think of vintage guitars and old Fender amps :wink:

Neil, no worries and no offense taken. Actually it was spoken like a true Brit! :-)
Besides aren't we all just building Fender clones anyhow? :-) :-) :-)

I do appreciate the input!!!
