Anyone know what the wire is (type and gauge) that Gibson uses to ground the pots together on a Custom Shop R8? TIA.

Fwiw; apparently vintage Gibsons used thicker AWG 19.
Here's one place to get that size.

Only your hairdresser will know for sure.

LOL I don't think I've heard that saying in maybe 50 years.

This company has almost $1000 of mine and I still no news for 7 months ! No response , fake tracking numbers... They let you guys do this in the US ? Not in my country.

I started this thread. It has nothing to do with your alleged problem. Take your spam crap elsewhere and shut up.

Thank you.

I hope he solves his problem but that doesn't give him the right to spam other people's threads.

Actually I think I ended up finding some heavier buss wire but that was about 1.5 years ago so I don't remember.
