Hey All - Title really says it all. Wondering what the minimum length of lead wire is for installing a used bridge pup in an ES-335. Any experienced wisdom greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

Just measure roughly following the route from bottom of bridge pickup til the bridge volume pot. Add some to go on, and I guess you'll be in the ballpark.

Anyway better too long than just long enough.

Also no problem splice solder some extra wire if one needs to.

Thanks Keef -- a good friend tells me ten-inches lead wire is the bare minimum. You pretty much want as much wire from the pup as you can get :) Cheers all!
