If you're re-wiring a Gibson in a vintage style, then this strong PVC tubing is great for covering braided wire. This will help prevent the outer braiding (ground) from touching any components as it passes through the cavity. It is relatively flexible, much like the original tubing seen on vintage instruments, so I would consider it a viable alternative and personally use this on any vintage restoration work, and I also include a small length of it with my pre-wired kit/looms too. Internal diameter is 4mm, and it comes supplied per 1ft. If you need more, simply order further quantities and I'll cut it in a total length (stock dependent).
I have included a photo of a wiring loom I made which was for an original 1964 Gibson 335, we used this exact tubing to achieve a period correct look and worked perfectly and matched up nicely with the original pieces of PVC tubing that was actually on the original wiring.

I am going to be taking a little bit of a break from the soldering iron desk soon, so here's a notice in case you were planning a pre-wired kit order in the coming week.
There will be a cut-off date of Monday 14th July, where any pre-wired kit ordered after that date, won't be made until I'm back to soldering duties on the 28th July. No kits will be made or dispatched between those dates. Once the 28th rolls around, I'll be back at it and working through kit orders, in date order as to be fair and equal to those waiting.
