<p>You weren't specific about the parts, "volume & tone slider control" seems to suggest an on-board pre-amp??? so there might be impedance issues that will affect the quality of the sound it puts out if the piezo rod is switched for a mag-coil</p>
<p>HOWEVER the gitty pre-amp works great for both so I'd say you are least safe from releasing any magic smoke from it</p>
<p>as to wire, these work in the 1's to 100's of mille-volts and mille amps, any wire bigger than the mag pickup's winding…</p>

<p>as to wire, these work in the 1's to 100's of mille-volts and mille amps, any wire bigger than the mag pickup's winding wire will carry the load. I try to use wire that I'm not afraid I'll break in the handling/soldering/mounting steps.</p> I agree.,.,piezo's and coiled…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2017-08-14:2592684:Comment:29241262017-08-14T19:53:57.417ZJerry Jordanhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/JerryJordan
<p>I agree.,.,piezo's and coiled magnetic pickups both use the same wire.,.,I tend to use a little lighter gauge wire on the piezo's.,.,the big stuff is a little harder to tack to a piezo.,.,</p>

<p>Hi Jon. I don't work with piezos, but I've worked with a lot of single coils, I would think that the small gauge p/u wire would be fine with piezos conversions. Any other takers?</p>
