4 Conductor Pickup Hookup Wire (16″)

Description

This 4-conductor hookup wire is designed for use with humbucker guitar pickups that support coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching.

The cable features four color-coded internal conductors plus a ground, all housed within a flexible outer jacket. This construction allows builders to route multiple signal paths cleanly while maintaining durability and consistent performance during installation.

Ideal for modern humbucker builds, rewinds, and custom wiring schemes, this wire provides the versatility required for advanced switching options without sacrificing reliability.

Builder Notes

4-conductor wire is typically used with humbuckers designed for coil splitting or switching, where each coil’s start and finish leads must be accessed independently.

Color coding may vary depending on wiring conventions, so builders should always map connections according to their chosen wiring scheme.

Available in bulk quantities for pickup builders, schools, and repair shops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 4-conductor pickup wire used for?
It allows access to each coil in a humbucker, enabling coil splitting, phase switching, and series/parallel wiring.

Is this required for coil splitting?
Yes. Coil splitting requires separate access to each coil, which is only possible with 4-conductor wire.

Does this work with standard humbuckers?
It works with humbuckers that are built or rewound to support 4-conductor wiring.

Can this be used for single-coil pickups?
Single-coil pickups typically do not require 4-conductor wire, though it may be used for special applications.

Is bulk pricing available?
Yes. Builder and school bulk pricing is available.
