probably a ridiculous question

I would think 22 gauge solid wire or even braided wire would work. Maybe some a little thicker but that should be good enough, as long as your solder joints are good. Make sure you use soldering flux on your connections. The cap should be fine.

Yep ... 18 - 22 gage is just fine. Make sure it is the shielded kind. Forget RS for caps. The people who work there don know caps from crap. As Tone mention, the cap you suggested is also fine.

Yeah, I was going to order the caps from GFS, but figured I could just get the wire local.

Thanks for the input, guys.

I used 22 gauge wire on my last two projects - works like a champ. One thing that I've done with caps is to solder alligator clip leads to the pots and run the leads to where I can clip on caps while I play. You can try out different values without tearing the guitar down every time you switch. Caps make a noticeable difference in sound.
