what type of wire should i use to rewire my guitar?

I use 22 AWG solid copper wire. I prefer the solid wire to stranded because it will hold its shape when I bend it, which results in a neater circuit.

Basses are wired no differently than guitar, so I really don't know what you're talking about there. Most guitars (even high end ones) come with really crappy wiring that wouldn't pass QC in a Happy Meal toy. Even if it's nice and clean, the circuit itself is poorly designed. It's mind boggling that pretty much every guitar manufacturer on the planet STILL uses that awful circuit Leo Fender designed 60 years ago.

Hello there,

Are you really talking about replacing the wires that run from the pots and switch to the output jack? If so, you have some good answers.

By any chance are you talking about the guitar strings?

I don't follow you when you say it is wired like a bass? Do you mean it has bass pickups? Bass guitar strings?

Later,

you could desire to spend a stable ten or twenty hours of getting to know wiring diagrams, pickups, what a pot is, stable soldering technique, varieties of wires, and correct protective innovations earlier you even think of approximately rewiring a guitar. I say this on account which you're exhibiting some gaps on your wisdom that would desire to not be there. Googling each and every of those subjects is a stable thank you to start filling the gaps of your wisdom. you have not have been given adequate wisdom yet. you do not understand no count in the experience that your pots are linear taper or logarithmic, working example. i think of i understand what they are, yet that may not going that may assist you! So... in the experience that your guitar is well worth any variety've money, take it to a consultant. If that is not, you need to anyhow - you threat detrimental your guitar in case you do not try this precise. in case you insist on being obdurate approximately it, purchase a e book and consider it thoroughly on pickup diagrams. you will might desire to spend some hours on the internet looking up wiring diagrams and pot values. i could then advise appearing some prepare runs mutually with your soldering iron on junk factors or spare factors from the keep - you will might desire to do it precise, you do not prefer to benefit the thank you to do some thing on your guitar! you need to heavily evaluate getting a wiring equipment that already has each and every of the factors with it. sure, it is going to likely be slightly extra costly, yet you could have each and everything you opt for. That way there is not any guesswork. i'm a tweaker/fiddler/gearhead by using nature myself, and am constantly seeking to swap, so I empathize. I in basic terms urge you to do the nicely suited element - until you recognize what you're doing, that's ideal to have a consultant do it (which potential not somebody from Guitar midsection). in case you prefer to benefit the thank you to do it, prepare on some thing that may not going to harm your emotions in case you smash it. stable success!

Here's an example of what's available http://www.guitarelectronics.com/product/WAK1/Elec... Weird noises usually means bad grounding or dry solder joints. If you want rock solid shielded cable throughout then I'd recommend using RG174 coax http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/cable/2632....
