Wiring

Posted by Robert Wickham on February 17, 2011 at 10:02am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Can someone tell me what kind of wire I need to get to wire a CBG? And can I just pick it up at a Radio Shack?

I just need to wire up the output jack.

I did wire up one piezo with good hookup wire, and then I've wired up a whole bunch using recycled wires. Mostly cuttings from "wall wart" transformers for old cell phones or other electronics, old headphones, etc. etc. They all sound great - this might not work as well with magnetic pickups, but the piezo's don't really seem to care if even with the smaller wires.

22 or 24 gauge hook-up wire - they have at a radio shack, but you'll probably have to buy a whole roll - cb gitty sells a pkg of just enough for what you nee
