  • heavy formvar wire

    Hello everybody
    my name is Yair and i'm new in this forum.
    i'm from Israel.
    i'm a guitar tech as well as guitars and bass and pickups builder.

    i wohuld like to get some help in finding a good source to by wire from,
    a speicaly the heavy formvar wire witch i can't find anywere.[i found it at Mojo bat the shiping costs they
    asking for a small spool of wire is unreal...]

    i buy the plain enamel wire from brocott.co.uk
    they prices for wire and shiping are great and the wire is fine too.
    unfortunately they dont make the heavy formvar wire.

    i appreciate any help on this one.
    thank you :-)

    and a lot of pick's :-)
    thanks again.
    Yair.

        i used in the past poly wire from Stewmac and it was big difference between thos two wires.
        Stewmac wire somewat thiner and realy feels like difrent wire than Brocotts wire.

        do you have any recomendation for good quality plain enamel wire?

                        They still make formvar Jason and their Shelamid comes up close as a good second. May be easier to get to them through this link. Shelhav. Sure Gil ships a lot of his wire from the states but talk to him Dor? (sorry Babyair) he's a good man.

                          yair I'll send them a message on your behalf If you want me to
                          how much wire do you want?
                          +Sorry I write in English but it's important to me that everyone understands
                          One of the things I most hate is People speak a language I do not understand and have respect for the people here
                          If you want to speak in Hebrew you can send me a private message

                          i think shelav production Range is only 38-8 AWG
                          and custom wire is Expensive

                              Have you considered 42 HPN.
                              I use it instead of HFV.
