Seems like a lot of money for wire until you realize that you're buying 7,62 metres (strange number but it works out as 25 feet exactly). This is probably more wire than you ever imagined being in your life - I'm guessing you could completely rewire >5 guitars with this amount. Or share it with friends and provide the wire for a guitar re-wire party.
The wire itself is great quality, and not just for vintage-authentic wiring. I agree with others that the cloth outer wants to spring back making soldering harder. I just push the cloth back, put a 90 degree bend in the wire end to stop it jumping back. Solder, then straighten the wire and watch the cloth spring back to partially cover my solder joint. No worries there. I use this wire on guitar installations but also to wire and re-wire some guitar pedals.
Well recommended. The only improvement I could think of would be to have 2 x 12.5feet lengths available together in both black and white instead instead of this monochromatic deal.
The wire solders easily - stays put (i.e. retains it's shape to be where you want it. Having cloth insulation has some advantage in audio applications over say, PVC. But I'll be the first to say that you'd be hard pushed to hear them.
