Welcome!

The 20 gauge is fine, especially if you use the cloth insulated type which will give your wiring that vintage spec and look.

If you go with the cloth wire, you simply cut it to size and push back the cloth; no stripping is required.

Even if i don't plan to buy from them I check out the Stew-mac site. Then you can see what they use, and try to source locally.
