Price is Per Foot
I grabbed some 20 ga. and some 22 ga. Good quality stuff (just like everything else that TubeDepot sells).

Perfect for ground buss or for a bare jumper between lugs.

Been looking all over for ground wire for guitar wiring. This is perfect. It is robust enough, and stiff enough to hold the guitar pots in the pattern they go into the guitar. That is a huge help! Get it soldered in and it stays. Soft enough to use and manipulate, but tough enough and stiff enough to be just right for the job. I couldn't ask for more. The pre-tinned surface makes it terrifically easy to solder. Bought 20 feet to try out and just ordered another 100 .....

Used this in my 18w TMB build. Great stuff for using as ground wire or as a small jumper. It's stiff enough to hold but also easy to work with it. That's really all I can ask for out of ground wire.
