The Missing Link!

I wouldn't necessarily write it off. Copper and other materials likely had different metallurgical properties decades ago.
 
copper is copper is copper is...u get the gist....

while we're talkin' bout it...aluminium has the same electrical conductivity as copper so...nothing holly about the metal...
 
"These are the missing link for the classic rock tone heards on records.
the tone difference is crazy, thick mids, round tone, and very dynamic.
We have made what we could from the amount of NOS cable wire obtained,
these are it, no more will be made."
 
Yo the brown RadioShack "tandy" speaker wire does sound good for 4x12 cab wiring .... no bs cameron told me this ages ago ....
 
Without technical data, like resistance and capacitance, is always snake oil.
 
I think most people have seen the size of the wire going to the coil, correct?

LOL. Yup. Those big lamp cables make a difference.

The wire coming off your pickups is incredibly small, usually 42 awg. There’s reasons why instrument cables are considerably thicker…

Don't get me wrong here, a quality cable is a good thing and will help with the sound. I completely agree with that. The thickness is partially due to the fact that if you used a thin wire to the guitar, you would probably be replacing it every other day. Also, you need to shield those wires from interference in order to complete the circuit.

At the same time...sometimes there is a law of diminishing returns. How much current can you really flow through the said wires?

It becomes the funnel analogy. You can only get so much through. I guess one would overbuild something to make sure you get the max out of it.
