The same wire used in the original American guitars beginning in the 1950s, and still made in the USA by the same manufacturer! 22 AWG as used by Fender for all guitar and bass production in the original pre-CBS era.
This stranded wire is pre-tinned - called a "tinned overcoat" - which locks the 7 strands together. The wire is therefore easily shaped and holds its shape beautifully, making for neat and tidy wiring.
Convenient package size, includes 30 feet of wire in all, ten feet each of white, black, and yellow.
"Push-back" style means that the wire doesn't need to be stripped, its insulation can just be pushed back a little to expose the bare wire for soldering. Of course, it may be stripped if desired.
Made the same way that it was in the 1950s, with a waxed cotton outer braid and celanese (cellulose) inner braid. This wire is the real thing!
Description
High quality wire as used by Fender in the 1950s and through the mid 1960s. Used in current vintage reissue guitars. This is the wire brand that nearly all of the U.S. guitar manufacturers use, as well as nearly all of the U.S. pickup manufacturers (Duncan, Fralin, Lollar, etc.). This is the real thing, from the original supplier, still making this wire in Massachusetts! The wire is tinned copper, 22 AWG 7/30 stranded (seven strands of 30-gauge wire, twisted together to form a 22 gauge stranded wire. The stranded wire is run through a tin bath that coats the seven strands, locking them into a single unit. This makes the wire hold its shape really well, you can easily train it by pulling it through your fingers or wrapping it around an object to make it lay the way you want it to. It's super nice to work with.
