<p>Just cut the plug off, if your pickup doesn't have a lead wire then cut a piece of wire off to wire the pickup to a volume pot, a piece from volume to tone and then a piece to the jack.</p>
<p>Then you probably have some left over plus the 2 cable you haven't touched for another guitar or 2.</p>
<p>Sorry for my delay, I got a lot going on right now. Gotta go before the other me catches up. ;)</p>

<p>In the pic he’s just showing that you can get 3 sets of wires in 1cable? You’re only going to be using 1 set of the cable to wire the pickup?</p>

<p>OK, so I'm still a bit dense. With that cord, I count 3 ground wires and 3 conductors. Do you strip them to 1 red cable, 1white cable and 1 yellow cable? that gives a conductor and ground for a single coil. Otherwise, I'm not getting it. I do like the idea though...</p>

<p>It's the 1 video and 2 audio hook up cables for DVD/Blueray/VCR players. They are Coaxle wires(1 insulated wire for signal wrapped by a bare standed ground wire for shielding). I get a pack on the cheap(3wires) at walmart or dollar stores for around 3 bucks or less and there's enough to wire 2 or more guitars depending on size and components involved. They help keep everything neat and looking like a rats nest. ;)…</p>
