@FacingItAlone - solid core wire can be less flexible and more likely to break. It's much more common to use stranded wire.
-
To rewire does the wire have to be stranded or a strip?

@johnplanetz Thanks for the compliment but you forgot to mention one more thing!
I'm trying to solder the part which is held by screws and 4 springs, they take the heat away faster, so the proper way i should do is to take off that part and solder it on a block of wood so there would be less heat loss.
THank you for the tip!

@PanzarMetal - excellent observation. A larger tip will be better for heating up big areas. My Weller has interchangeable tips, and I use the 1/8" flat tip for heavy work. I only use the fine pencil-tip point for soldering on PCB's, etc.

the pots that came with the pickups i ordered are 25k, and the three prongs or legs or whatever theyre called are too small to bend back to solder the volume one

@geohuete94 - I actually prefer not to bend pot lugs to directly solder them to a pot back. I just use a short wire instead.

I am making my own guitar and am putting in the Zakk Wylde EMG set. It doesn't come with a 3 way switch or the wires for it, what gauge wires do i need to connect the switch to the 'B157 EMG pickup buss' that came with the pickups?

@RuneScapeRoots - 22 or 24 gauge will be fine.

@JonsBrain - you need to have a basic understanding of your circuit. Understanding some basic electronics, and looking at some circuit diagrams will help you. There's some links to resources in the FAQ at my blog at planetz.
