Guitar- Piezo under saddle pickup.

dori2o

Not sure if anyone out there is on the same wavelength as me, but I'm building a 12 string semi hollow body guitar from scratch, and I'm determined to make everything myself (within certain limits, I'm pretty good at this stuff but I'm no genius).

I want to make an under saddle piezo pickup and I have the plans here

But I'm not sure where to get PVDF COAX cable (0.125" dia.), or what it's equivalent may be.

Any help that anyone can give would be very much appreciated.

Go to Maplins and have a look.
Curtesy of wikipedia its just a material for wire.
Polyvinylidene Fluoride, or PVDF is a highly non-reactive and pure thermoplastic fluoropolymer. It is also known as KYNAR, HYLAR or SYGEF.
PVDF is a specialty plastic material in the fluoropolymer family; it is used generally in applications requiring the highest purity, strength, and resistance to solvents, acids, bases and heat and low smoke generation during a fire event. Compared to other fluoropolymers, it has an easier melt process because of its relatively low melting point.
It has a relatively low density (1.78) and low cost compared to the other fluoropolymers. It is available as piping products, sheet, tubing, films, plate and an insulator for premium wire. It can be injected, molded or welded and is commonly used in the chemical, semiconductor, medical and defense industries, as well as in lithium ion batteries.
