Strat wiring recommendations

lloyd

As above, all at sea scrolling through eBay looking at them all. I've got the pick ups and switch so needing pots, caps and the wires obviously.

Happy to do all the wiring so I don't want a pre wired one (that's cheating right).

How much should I be looking to spend on a decent set? Any recommendations, anyone on here sell them? I'd prefer to send cash their way than some ebayer....

Cheers.

I recently got the montreux wiring kit from thomann, very good quality and cheap too for what it has in it. The wire is single core which I personally like as you can make the wiring neater easier. And it comes with pushback wire too.
massive ass cap and custom cts pots.
you will need solder and a soldering iron and that is it.

Also has a nice colour wiring diagram.

I guess then you could sell one of the switche's depending on your preference?

Axecaster do CTS true vintage taper pots, which I have in my strat - they're really, really nice. The taper is nice, but more importantly they feel good to use compared to regular CTS pots. Maybe they're made to a higher spec?  I really don't know. 

Then Orange drop caps - not worth spending more methinks. 

Lastly, if you have Oil City pickups, use the wire from the pickups - there is loads of it and it's the best multi core push back wire I've used!

Cheers @Theprettydamned I'll need a dictionary to work out what some of those things are! Google is my friend in this situation!

I buy from these people. They sell the 450 series CTS which are best CTS pots available off the shelf. You can buy Pots or Wiring kits as well http://www.guitarpartsworldwide.com/250k+PT13TTZnak14QVRNNmtuY3ZkV1owRjJZ
