    I love the look of cloth wire with heatshrink around the lugs and cloth ending! Pair it up with CTS pots and Switchcraft switches.... Very clean and professional look!

    Waddaya mean no difference in tone.... rofl
    Actually I think it does improve the tone by removing the hidden harmonics caused by spurious magnetic interfence.
    I cover the whole length of the shielding with clear shrink wrap.

    PK might have a point but if you use good quality wire there shouldnt be too much in the way of hummy buzzy bitz.. Especially if you shield everything in sight

    Like the idea of covering the shielded wire in clear heatshrink, noice touch PK

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    tks Kell & Db. The shrink wrapp makes it look good and reduces the possibility of shorts.
