Hey,

For a specific build, the wire between the triple play pickup and transmitter needs to be about 6 inches longer. I plan to just cut the cable, and splice and solder.

I am however having trouble finding the 8 conductor cable to do so. All I found was 22 awg 8 conductor, which is like guitar cable thick. I need super thin 1/8 inch diameter, stranded 8 conductor. Can someone point me in the right direction to find this cable?

Thanks

Actually you only need 6 conductor + Drain wire and shield

Small diameter types are here:

Ah thanks for link, spent nearly 3 hrs scouring web.

Would you happen to know which if these 8 pins colors I need?

I found this picture on this forum of the inside of the triple play. I assume one some are not in use.

FTP PU is identical to GK-3 PU wiring -some production builds swap colors , but it's basically
1-sheild  heatshrink
2-ground drain Black
3-string 6 Brown
4-string 5 Blue
5-string 4 Green
6-string 3 Red
7-string-2 White
8-string-1 Yellow

The GK-3 PU

IMHO  those would be inappropriate as there is no foil shield

I have built many such "pickup cables" for various customers over the years...if it all falls in a hole, PM me and we can discuss what you need...

Have a quite a few bits-and-pieces lying around that may do the job..problem is I am in Australia and postage is the pits....at least at the moment.

Cheers,
