Let me start by saying I have a tendency to be an audiophile...
So I bought a new guitar and decide to get pickups for it. Got some motorcity's and that led to wanting to get them for my other main guitars. Once I had pickups for all of the guitars I decided all of the shitty stock wiring and electronics had to go.
I order some precision audio taper CTS pots, some switchcraft jacks and nice toggle switches. Time to upgrade wire. I was originally looking for solid core copper.
During my research I found 22 AWG solid core, Teflon coated silver wire.
I read that Silver is the most conductive metal on the planet and has less resistance than copper.
I ordered some and though more difficult to work with than standard stranded cooper It added extra clarity.
At $3.40 a foot it cost about 15 to 20 bux to have enough to rewire a guitar with extra left over.
I though some of you guys might like to try some also, so here is the resource:

Ill be using it in my axes from now on and I am thinking of buying some of the 18 AWG to wire up my speaker cabinets internally.
EDIT: I Found A second source for solid silver stranded wire. 19 stands and teflon coated:

THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE WIRE/CABLE MAKES A DIFFERENCE AT ALL. IT DOES. START YOUR OWN THREAD TO CONVINCE EVERYONE YOUR FIVE DOLLAR PRO-FORMANCE CABLE IS THE BEES KNEES.
