If not, you're losing a lot of your tone with that wimpy wire from the pickups to the switch or pot.
Cat5 has 8 individually jacketed 24 ga. solid strands of wire. So in essence, it is stranded, but solid at the same time. This is the most typical wire. You can, however, get stranded Cat5, though I've never actually seen it.
