hey guys, I recently bought a set of fender texas specials on ebay but theres one problem, the wire for the bridge pickup isnt long enough. Does anybody know what sort of cable I need? Im willing to spend alot on it, theres no point having great pickups hooked up with crap wire. Also, where can I buy it? ( PREFERABLY IN THE UK)
Thanks,
Mick

This should be a real easy fix. Go down to your local guitar repair place, ask for some vintage cloth covered wire (or pickup leads). Get yourself some shrink wrap tubing (local hardware store - black electrical tape will work just won't look as clean), solder new lead on (will need a soldering iron and solder), placed shrink wrap over soldered portion and apply a little heat, test and install pickup. I don’t know if they ship over seas, but Stew Mac has all the supplies you need.
