Warmoth Wiring Kit... where to use coax?

[ghostrider]

So I'm working on my first build and I have the Warmoth Wiring Kit which comes with Black, White, Red, and Coax wires. My biggest question is where to use the coax?

I'm wiring up a standard 3 pot (2 tone, 1 vol) SSS strat (Fender CS 69's). The diagram that came with the pickups looks to be the identical wiring to this one...

Thanks for any help and tips!

Bare minimum, you should run shielded cable from the volume pot to the output jack. If you want to go above and beyond the call of duty, you could use it in place of the blue, red, and pick wires in the above diagram - simply tie the shields together and to ground. Often, that's not practical due to space constraints. YMMV. Past that, there's little you can do with single coils. They're going to be noisy no matter what you do.

Thanks for the reply. From the output jack to the volume was actually what I figured but the length of the wire that was in the kit relative to the others had me thinking that it probably went beyond that. It makes sense that you could use it for anything since it's just a wire but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a specific connection that wasn't apparent that I absolutely must shield.

Thanks! :icon_thumright:

Never had much use for all purpose kits like this.  They come with much less, or much more than you need.

I've always thought that if you need a wiring "kit", you probably shouldn't be wiring. Needing a kit means you don't have anything around the house at all, which means you're probably not set up to do wiring and/or have not done much of it in the past. Then, if it's just a matter of needing supplies, anybody who does enough wiring to be comfortable with it wouldn't buy a kit anyway; they'd know how to buy wire right.

It's how we learn what we need or don't need I guess, by doing.

A wiring kit from Warmoth perpetuates the fallacy their parts are kits, which they are not, and legally can't be.

kits are quite useful for those without lots of free space for excess misc parts or who get out the soldering iron less than 3x/year

Volume pot to output jack is where I use shielded cable, rarely anywhere else.
